How People Live in Ittoqqortoormiit | Cut Off by Ice 9 Months a Year | 4K Documentary

How do 350 people live in Ittoqqortoormiit, a town in Greenland where the sea freezes for roughly nine months a year? No road, no railway, and polar bears walking between the houses. Ittoqqortoormiit sits on the wild east coast of Greenland, at the mouth of Scoresby Sound, one of the largest fjord systems on Earth. The nearest town is about 800 km away, the sun disappears for almost two months every winter, and every liter of fuel must arrive by ship. In this documentary, we explore how the town was founded in 1925, how its colorful houses survive on permafrost, and what an ordinary day looks like for hunters, children and families at the edge of the Arctic. You will also discover why so many people choose to stay.
