🛷 Greenlandic Inuit (Kalaallit)

Ice Sheet Edge Inhabitants

Greenlandic Inuit

The Kalaallit or Greenlandic Inuit (approximately 50,000) inhabit the world's largest island, 80% covered by ice sheet. They endure extreme Arctic conditions, polar nights, -50°C winters, and isolation on the edge of the Greenland ice cap. Traditional seal and whale hunting, dog sledding, kayaking, and resilience define this culture adapting to rapid climate change while maintaining Arctic survival traditions and political autonomy.
