In the footsteps of Paul-Emile Victor
Aerial view. A thin film of ice covering the water in Angmagssalik Fjord (Eastern Greenland) - March 2006. The winter ice is often unable to take the weight of sleds, the method of transport used by the Inuit for thousands of years. Nevertheless, the ice sheet is still too thick for motor boats to be used. In the winter, the most remote villages, such as Tiniteqilaaq and Sermiligaq, are supplied by helicopter only. Vue a?rienne. Fine pellicule de glace recouvrant les eaux du fjord d'Angmagssalik (Groenland est) - mars 2006. La glace d'hiver ne supporte souvent plus les tra?neaux, moyen de transport utilis? pourtant depuis des mill?naires par les Inuits. La banquise reste cependant trop ?paisse pour permettre la navigation en bateau ? moteur. En hiver, les villages les plus enclav?s, comme Tiniteqilaaq ou Sermiligaq, ne sont ainsi ravitaill?s que par h?licopt?re. RHS1013217_129. (Photo by Xavier DESMIER /Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images)
