Evening walk in Nuuk ❄️🐕🐾
The light, the quiet, the air -something magical about this place is the evening,
Sometimes a slow walk is all you need to reset.

I met Milak during fieldwork in Uummannaq - calm, curious, and always up for a pet. She now stands at the National Museum, part of Greenland’s living heritage.

I was interviewed yesterday at the Greenland National Museum...

With expedition leader Manuel Calvo Villena and Milak, a sled dog I met and petted during fieldwork in Uummannaq. Seeing her again, now part of the museum’s collection, was emotional.

Filmed yesterday at the Greenland National Museum for Desafío Ártico with Manuel Calvo Villena.

I spoke about qimmit, Inuit hunting culture, and Arctic heritage.

The mounted dog is Milak, met during fieldwork in Uummannaq.

And yes - practical shoes. 🐾❄️
