In the footsteps of Paul-Emile Victor

Even when accompanied by some of the most renowned local Inuit hunters and guides, travel in Eastern Greenland can still prove to be dangerous. A snow storm from the ice cap and a fall of thick powder snow can make progress very difficult for the dogs and men. Nevertheless, it is in this universe, one of the most hostile on our planet, that the hunters of Ammassalik (Eastern Greenland) and their ancestors have survived for thousands of years. M?me en compagnie de chasseurs et guides Inuits locaux parmi les plus r?put?s, un voyage au Groenland Oriental peut s'av?rer p?rilleux. Une temp?te de neige en provenance de la calotte glaciaire et une ?paisse poudreuse peuvent rendre la progression des chiens et des hommes ardue. C'est dans cet univers parmi les plus hostiles de notre plan?te qu'ont n?anmoins surv?cu les chasseurs d'Ammassalik (Groenland Est) et leurs anc?tres depuis des mill?naires.. RHS1013217_017.
