Ajunngilaq

Ajunngilaq takes you on a long and adventurous expedition through the most remote parts of Siberia, North Greenland, arctic Alaska and Canada plus Svalbard and across the Arctic Ocean to the North Pole. It gives an up-to-date view of peoples, wildlife and environments. Everything from family life to polar research, nature protection, environmental disasters, ecotourism and close-up encounters with big game such as polar bears, walruses, white wolves, narwhals, killer whales and muskoxes.
The basic concept of the book is the interrelationship between Man and Nature and the contrast between surviving old traditions and new technology. You meet mushers with laptop computers, reindeer herdsmen on snow mobiles talking in cell phones and seal hunters surfing on the Web.
Ajunngilaq means ”good” in inuit language, and expresses the authors' optimistic view on the Arctic.
