  • Ilulissat Icefjord
    World Heritage Scanned Nomination File Name: 1149.pdf UNESCO Region: EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Ilulissat Icefjord DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 7th July 2004 STATE PARTY: DENMARK CRITERIA: N (i) (iii) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 28th Session of the World Heritage Committee Criterion (i): The Ilulissat Icefjord is an outstanding example of a stage in the Earth’s history: the last ice age of the Quaternary Period. The ice-stream is one of the fastest (19m per day) and most active in the world. Its annual calving of over 35 cu. km of ice accounts for 10% of the production of all Greenland calf ice, more than any other glacier outside Antarctica. The glacier has been the object of scientific attention for 250 years and, along with its relative ease of accessibility, has significantly added to the understanding of ice-cap glaciology, climate change and related geomorphic processes. Criterion (iii): The combination of a huge ice sheet and a fast moving glacial ice-stream calving into a fjord covered by icebergs is a phenomenon only seen in Greenland and Antarctica. Ilulissat offers both scientists and visitors easy access for close view of the calving glacier front as it cascades down from the ice sheet and into the ice-choked fjord. The wild and highly scenic combination of rock, ice and sea, along with the dramatic sounds produced by the moving ice, combine to present a memorable natural spectacle. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Located on the west coast of Greenland, 250-km north of the Arctic Circle, Greenland’s Ilulissat Icefjord (40,240-ha) is the sea mouth of Sermeq Kujalleq, one of the few glaciers through which the Greenland ice cap reaches the sea.

  • The Greenlander of Today 5
    Top-Sukkertoppen, a west Greenland settlement, is located on rocky terrain. It is the centre of a valuablesealing and cod-salting industry. Bottom-Godthaab, capital of Greenland, was founded by the Danish missionary Hans Egede in 1721. This view shows the older part of the town including the hospital to the left. .. THE GREENLANDER OFTODAY* By Eske Brun. The Greenland Administration, Copenhagen, Denmark. SHOULD like to begin by saying something about the first and most I serious error generally made about Greenland, and the one which is, I think, the most difficult to eradicate: It is popularly believed that it is cold in Greenland, so cold that wherever and whenever you are there you are frozen stiff, and that there is nothing there but ice and snow. This idea of Greenland as an enormous lump of ice is largely due to the ice-cap. Five-sixths of Greenland’s two million square kilometers are covered by this ice-cap. There is so much ice there that, if it melted, the oceans and seasall over theworld would rise eight meters. The existence of the ice-cap is not due to any excessive cold in Greenland, but mainly to the considerable height of the country, the average height of the surface of the ice-cap being about 2000 meters, and to the heavy snowfall. Paradoxical as it may seem ,the ice-cap is thicker in southern Greenland than in northern Greenland, because the snowfall is heavier in the south. The largest continuous tracts of land not covered with ice are to be found in Peg-yland on the northern coast of the country.

  • Local Knowledge, Climate Change, Subsistence
    在来知、気候変動、生業活動適応・不適応：グリーンランドの調査から考える Local knowledge, climate change, subsistence (mal) adaptations ――Thoughts from Greenland―― 「在来知と近代科学」科研第４回研究会 鹿児島大学 スチュアート ヘンリ（本多俊和） Henry Stewart (Shunwa Honda) 1．The question and problems I began research in Greenland in 2003 as part of an investigation into representation of Indigenous peoples in media and museum exhibits. When visiting the Greenland National Museum in Nuuk, I became aware of sheep farming in south Greenland. Through this realization, the stark difference between the society and subsistence activities of north and south Greenland Inuit (Kalaallit = Greenlanders) and differing reaction to climate change became evident. Such a distinct variance is not evident in Alaska or Canada. In order to substantiate my intuition, I began to gather data concerning the history of climate change in Greenland, the present situation of regional groups and their subsistence activities, and well as the stance toward climate change by Inuit organisations. Today I present a brief review of representation in exhibits of Greenland National Museum, and then onto a synopsis of climate change research based upon research to date （September 2013 ノース、チューレ文化、シオラパルク、Tasiusaq）. Concerning the attitude of the Greenland government, I depend on prior research as my efforts to meet government agencies in Nuuk, September 2013 all were met with last minute cancellations. 2. Terminology Permanent residents of Greenland are officially referred to as Kalaallit（カラーシュ リト カラーリト）. This designation has several self-contradictory and ambiguous connotations.⇒ Greenland’s official designation is Kalaallit Nunaat, “The land of Kalaallit”, and permanent residents, regardless of ethnic background are Kalaallit (Greenlanders in English). Inuit ancestry of the 56,000 residents is estimated to be approximately 50,000 persons.

  • The West Greenland Trawl Survey for Pandalus Borealis, 2020, with Reference to Earlier Results
    NOT TO BE CITED WITHOUT PRIOR REFERENCE TO THE AUTHOR(S) Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization Serial No. N7127 NAFO SCR Doc. 20/053 NAFO/ICES PANDALUS ASSESSMENT GROUP—October 2020 The West Greenland trawl survey for Pandalus borealis, 2020, with reference to earlier results. by AnnDorte Burmeister and Frank Farsø Rigét Greenland Institute of Natural Resources Box 570, 3900 Nuuk, Greenland Abstract A trawl survey is carried out in NAFO Subarea 1 and NAFO Division 0A east of 60°30’W, as a contribution to the assessment of the stock of the Northern Shrimp (Pandalus borealis). In 2020, 247 stations were fished in 30 fishing days; 187 stations provided data to the shrimp survey in all strata., except for stratum C0 and strata W8-2 and W9-4. In 2020, the annual trawl survey was conducted with a chartered vessel, the Islandic trawler Helga Maria. All the standard gear from the research vessel Paamiut (such as cosmos trawl, doors, all equipment such as bridles etc. Marport sensors on doors and headlines) were used, in attempt to make the 2020 survey as identical as possible with the previous year’s survey with Paamiut. The 2003 peak in total survey and fishable biomasses was followed by a continuous decline, reaching in 2014 the lowest levels since 1997. In aggregate, the stock has shown no clear trends since 2007. In fact, at short term (10 years), there has been fluctuations in the stock with ups and downs in biomass. The overall survey biomass increased by 13% to 378 Kt in 2020, little higher than the 2019 value at 334 Kt.
