Greenland is the world’s largest island and least densely populated place on earth. With about eighty percent of the land covered by ice, the population is limited to a handful of habitable places along the coast. Traveling by boat, plane and helicopter (there are no roads) in this Danish colony, the lecturer photographed the stunning beauty of the ice floes, glaciers and icebergs. In this program, he will discuss the island’s history and culture, how global warming is changing the landscape and impacting the lives of its people who depend on fishing and hunting for their survival, and the recent focus on Greenland for its valuable natural resources.

This program is co-sponsored with the COA and Sherborn Library
