I’m often surprised at how small the world is. And, for all of its enormous size, how incredibly small Greenland is. The other day I received a Facebook message with 2 images (blurred by FB) from a person I didn’t know saying: Hi lisa! I don’t know if anyone has sent this to you yet….
It has long been a dream / bucket list item for me to have my own photography exhibition. In 2021, I finally achieved my ambition 😀 Origins of the exhibition In my backyard began as a personal project to document the immediate surroundings of my current home. I was conscious that while we may remember…
Hunting and fishing are a very important part of the Greenlandic culture. The skill and ingenuity of the Inuit allowed them to live for thousands of years relying primarily on the skins and meat of the sea and land animals available to them.

The Arctic Circle region between Sisimiut and Maniitsoq features innumerable pristine rivers in which these prized fish spawn, and July – August is the height of Arctic Char fishing season. I was keen to fill my freezer with these wild trout,…

One of the highlights so far has been a small exhibition of student art that has graced the foyer of the school (alongside Greenland’s largest mineral collection) for the past few months….
A day trip to Kangeq – the abandoned settlement near Nuuk – is a great excursion from Greenland’s capital. Read my experience in this blog post.
When I went to bed, we were sailing just north of Qeqertarsuatsiaat. When I woke up – We were arriving in Nuuk. On the northbound journey, the Sarfaq Ittuk spends 14 hours in the capital city of Greenland. This is the longest stop it has anywhere during its week-long circuit – I imagine so that…
