  • Greenland 2018
    2018 GREENLAND TREKKING - DAY TOURS - DISCOVERY - KAYAKING - DOG SLEDDING - HIKING SHORT BREAKS - INDIVIDUAL TRAVEL PACKAGES - EXPEDITIONS - SKIING BE A PIONEER Björgvin Hilmarsson Björgvin BE A PIONEER Explore, be open, be curious - be a pioneer. Greenland has attracted adventurers and pioneering spirits since the first people set foot on its ground. From the Inuit to Vikings, polar explorers and missionaries, it has captivated people’s hearts and mind - and it still does today. Greenlanders themselves are an open-minded and versatile people that honor their roots and uphold the customs that helped them survive in a challenging environment. The powerful Greenlandic nature has made the pioneering spirit imperative for survival and development and has created a strong culture based on empowerment, community - and especially hospitality. Powerful Greenland is untamed, powerful and vast in scope. In Greenland, roads end where a town ends, and grand backcountry spreads before your eyes. As if time has stopped. The magnificence of the landscape, the deafening silence and timelessness of nature make you feel small and humble. Pure The immensity of the world largest island and the limited number of people visiting, leaves plenty of space for you to get your share of unspoilt nature, open spaces and peacefulness. Whether it is taking the first steps - or runs - in the untouched snow or if it is hiking off the beaten path in the virgin wilderness in Greenland, you will find yourself in a place where few have traveled before. Unplugged The backcountry of Greenland is a place that encourages you to disconnect; to live the simple life, without wifi, to let the northern lights or the midnight sun be the light that illuminates the night sky.

    Notification to Nasdaq OMX Copenhagen 12/2021 INTERIM REPORT FIRST HALF OF 2021 CVR no. 80050410 REPORT FOR FIRST HALF OF 2021 IN HEADLINES Satisfactory first half of 2021 The BANK of Greenland’s profit before tax amounts to DKK 74.8 million for the first half of 2021, compared to DKK 55.7 million for the first half of 2020. The profit before value adjustments and write-downs is DKK 72.0 million, compared to DKK 72.9 million for the previous year. After sound growth in lending in both 2019 and 2020, lending fell in the first half of 2021. Lending has decreased by DKK 182 million since the end of 2020, amounting to DKK 3,824 million at the end of the first half-year. As stated in the Q1 report, the decline in lending was expected in view of the completion of several major construction financing projects, to some extent replaced by mortgage finance guarantees. Guarantees increased by DKK 293 million from DKK 1,622 million at the end of 2020 to DKK 1,915 million at the end of Q2 2021. Net interest and fee income increased by DKK 7.0 million to DKK 168.1 million in the first half of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The increase is due partly to higher guarantee commission income and income from the investment and pension area. Total expenses including depreciation amounted to DKK 98.3 million at the end of the first half of 2021, compared to DKK 90.4 million for the same period of 2020.

  • Faroe Islands and Greenland 2008
    N O R D I C M E D I A T R E N D S 10 Media and Communication Statistics Faroe Islands and Greenland 2008 Compiled by Ragnar Karlsson NORDICOM UNIVERSITY OF GOTHENBURG 2008 NORDICOM’s activities are based on broad and extensive network of contacts and collaboration with members of the research community, media companies, politicians, regulators, teachers, librarians, and so forth, around the world. The activities at Nordicom are characterized by three main working areas. Media and Communication Research Findings in the Nordic Countries Nordicom publishes a Nordic journal, Nordicom Information, and an English language journal, Nordicom Review (refereed), as well as anthologies and other reports in both Nordic and English langu- ages. Different research databases concerning, among other things, scientific literature and ongoing research are updated continuously and are available on the Internet. Nordicom has the character of a hub of Nordic cooperation in media research. Making Nordic research in the field of mass communication and media studies known to colleagues and others outside the region, and weaving and supporting networks of collaboration between the Nordic research communities and colleagues abroad are two prime facets of the Nordicom work. The documentation services are based on work performed in national documentation centres at- tached to the universities in Aarhus, Denmark; Tampere, Finland; Reykjavik, Iceland; Bergen, Norway; and Göteborg, Sweden. Trends and Developments in the Media Sectors in the Nordic Countries Nordicom compiles and collates media statistics for the whole of the Nordic region. The statistics, to- gether with qualified analyses, are published in the series, Nordic Media Trends, and on the homepage.

  • Oceans North Letter to Fiskerikommissionen in Greenland
    Oceans North, Greenland Office 3900 Nuuk PO Box 1433 +299 522406 www.oceansnorth.org Oceans North Letter to Fiskerikommissionen in Greenland August 2020 Oceans North, a non-governmental organization, is focused on marine conservation in the Arctic and northern oceans and supporting the well-being of communities that rely on the marine environment. Oceans North has been engaged in Canadian fisheries management advisory committees in the Eastern Arctic and Atlantic Canada, as well as being an observer to the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization. We know that healthy coastal communities are predicated on a healthy marine environment for food security and economic activity. In April 2017, Oceans North hosted a meeting in Ilulissat on the Greenland halibut fishery. The three-day conference resulted in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by all the major companies and organizations of the coastal fishery for Greenland halibut including KNAPK, SQAPK, Department of Fisheries and Hunting, GFLK, Greenland Institute of Natural Resources, Qaasuitsup Municipality, Royal Greenland, and Greenland Halibut. We have included a copy of this agreement as appendix to this letter. The purpose of the agreement was to create a starting point for future discussions on the establishment of a responsible fishery for Greenland halibut, locally, regionally, and nationally. Sustainability and quality in the fishery must be the focus of management efforts. Dialogue and engagement between fishermen, biologists, management and the industry should be increased. Oceans North has also been instrumental in the signing of an international agreement to prevent unregulated high seas fisheries in the Central Arctic Ocean (CAO) which was signed in Ilulissat in October 2018.

    West Greenland Commission WGC(18)13 Working Papers to ICES on the Review of Phone Surveys (2015, 2016 and 2017) Not to be cited without prior reference to the author International Council for North Atlantic Salmon The Exploration of the Sea Working Group Working Paper 2015/35 Results of the phone interview survey of licensed Greenlandic salmon fishermen conducted in February 2015. by Rasmus Nygaard Greenland Institute of Natural Resources P.O. Box 570, DK-3900 Nuuk, Denmark 1 Summary The fishery for Atlantic salmon in Greenland waters started around 1960 and peaked in the early seventies at a catch of more than 2,000t a year. The fishery was quota regulated from 1972, but due to declining stocks, in June 1998 NASCO agreed that no commercial fishery for salmon should be allowed, but that the catch at West Greenland should be restricted to 'that amount used for internal consumption in Greenland, which in the past has been estimated at 20 tones'. Since then export of salmon from Greenland has been banned by law and catches has been limited by internal by internal comsumption, season and gear limitations. Unlicensed fishery for private consumption has always been allowed but limited to one gillnet per unlicensed fisherman. In order to sell catches and use more than 1 gillnet a license is required. From 2002 to 2011, licensed fishermen were only allowed to sell salmon to institutions, local markets and restaurants. However, in 2012 landing to factories producing for the Greenlandic home market was re-opened and a 35t quota was set by Greenland.
