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.

Sheep Farming As “An Arduous Livelihood”
University of Alberta Cultivating Place, Livelihood, and the Future: An Ethnography of Dwelling and Climate in Western Greenland by Naotaka Hayashi A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology ©Naotaka Hayashi Spring 2013 Edmonton, Alberta Permission is hereby granted to the University of Alberta Libraries to reproduce single copies of this thesis and to lend or sell such copies for private, scholarly or scientific research purposes only.

Abstract In order to investigate how Inuit Greenlanders in western Greenland are experiencing, responding to, and thinking about recent allegedly human-induced climate change, this dissertation ethnographically examines the lives of Greenlanders as well as Norse and Danes in the course of past historical natural climate cycles. My emphasis is on human endeavours to cultivate a future in the face of difficulties caused by climatic and environmental transformation. I recognize locals’ initiatives to carve out a future in the promotion of sheep farming and tree-planting in southern Greenland and in adaptation processes of northern Greenlandic hunters to the ever-shifting environment.

Journey's End in 1944 My Grandmother, Atsa Louise
Journey's end In 1944 my grandmother, Atsa Louise Sørensen, set out from a small village named Arsuk, 'the beloved place', in an umiak, a small boat powered by up to twenty rowers. She travelled up the western coast of Greenland to Aasiaat where she was to enter a boarding school for those deemed gifted enough to become catechists. It was a journey of more than a week and at night they pulled the boat on shore and slept beneath it. On the way she passed by Narsaq from where her mother, Sofie Jakobsen, had travelled in the opposite direction when she moved to Arsuk as a young girl to work in her brother's household. Atsa was in Aasiaat for two years. She was selected to go to the teacher-training college in Nuuk and this led to her move, in 1950, to Denmark where she continued her training as a teacher. After finishing her education she met Viggo, my grandfather, she started a family and never returned to live in her country of birth. Sixty-four years after Atsa's first journey to Aasiaat, her oldest daughter, her son-in-law and their two children crossed the ocean in the opposite direction. By then Arsuk had experienced both growth and decline. Two of Atsa's brothers, Julius and Abel, stayed in Arsuk to carry on the hunting and fishing trade of their father, Pavia Jakobsen. But the way of kayak hunting was replaced by the fishing cutter, and when they introduced pound nets fishing became easier and more profitable.
