The 2011 Uummannaq Polar Institute Summer Expedition. To the North of Greenland.
Aaaaa, it’s my big honour to be one of Ole Jorgen Hammeken‘s many friends. He is the most recognizable Greenlandic man, who attracts the world’s attention to Greenland, its people and climate issues.
It were him and his wonderful wife, who run together Uummannaq Children’s Home in the settlement called Uummannaq.
It was them, who host Galya Morrell and Joel Spiegelman‘s Uummannaq Music project.
Certainly, they are those people, who share Uummannaq Polar Institute‘s vision, i.e. to conserve Greenland’s local culture and promote educational programs for young Inuit people.
UPI was founded in 2007 by Ann Andreasen and was inaugurated in 2008 by HSH the Prince Albert II of Monaco, Jean Malaurie, a distinguished French ethnographer, and by Arthur Chilingarov, polar explorer and Vice-President of the Russian Parliament.
