Mick Brown - Greenland
Tenby & District Camera Club welcomed back Mick Brown to give another fascinating talk. Last year it was South Georgia but this time it was the turn of Greenland. Mick is a local Biologist and guide and he spent a year on Greenland.
Greenland is the world’s largest non-continental island, covered predominately by snow & ice. Most residents are Inuit, the population concentrated mainly on the South West coast. It is the least densely populated country in the world.
Mick’s talk covered many aspects of life on this unusual island from the people and their beliefs, to social issues and their attitude to the wildlife. Polar Bears, whales, seals and sea birds are both appreciated and abused, with differing behaviour towards them. Hunting and fishing for skins, food and tourism is prevalent. It has stunningly beautiful landscapes. Education and Health Care is good with generous support form Denmark.
Mick gave a comprehensive general view of life on Greenland including the good and the bad. Like all countries they try hard to improve but it has difficulties because of it’s location, isolation and cold extreme climate.
It was interesting to see social photography as well as wildlife and landscape, all coupled with interesting anecdotes, facts and figures.
