GREENLAND unseen ...

This book is about Greenland, and the astonishing adaptations of the wildlife of Greenland to the Arctic environment. This book is about the people of Greenland, and their ability to navigate a breath-taking and picturesque, but also harsh and wild, landscape. This book is about unique connections, and the strong dependency between humans, animals, and the surrounding environment in Greenland

 

GREENLAND unseen … is a visual tribute to Greenland stemming from Carsten Egevang's deep-rooted and enduring fascination with the country. The images and text in the book constitute a pragmatic documentation of living conditions for both animals and humans in a world of ice and snow. It is also a photographic portrait of traditional hunting culture as it unfolds in present day Greenland, and its deep cultural roots in a bygone age.
