It's a Friday night and the port of Nuuk is a hive of activity. Passengers loaded down with heavy bags hurry aboard a rusty red and white ship — Greenland's last ferry.
Among them are an ethnologist and a few Danish tourists, but most are Greenlanders from the 74 villages and settlements that dot the west coast, a thin strip of land squeezed between the ice sheet and the open sea just south of the Arctic Ocean.
