Greenland, Melville Bay, 74th parallel north. 450 inhabitants cut off from the rest of the world by the winter ice, including a handful of polar bear hunters. At first glance, not the kind of people to easily open their doors. And yet…
Driven by a magnetic desire, Mo Malø lived alongside these men and women, fully immersing himself in their world and following their hunt.
He endured nearly twelve-hour-long sled expeditions with his companions— »The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly »—braved extreme cold down to -40°C, sought to grasp the vast frozen expanses, and tried to put himself in the place of the coveted nanook to better track it. More importantly, he strove to understand the continuation of this ancestral tradition in a rapidly changing world, where the polar bear has become an enduring symbol of climate change and our (guilty) ecological conscience.
