Climate change is affecting life in Ittoqqortoormiit, a remote Inuit community in Greenland. The melting ice, rising temperatures, and tourists are harming the Inuit traditional way of life and threatening wildlife.
The Inuit people have lived for thousands of years in Greenland, in an area surrounded by icebergs. The ice provides them with food and clothes. They hunt seals, musk oxen, narwhals and polar bears, and use their meat and fur to survive.
But now, the ice is melting because of climate change as temperatures in the Arctic rise four times faster than elsewhere. This is making it harder for the Inuit to live in Greenland.
Inuit hunters also say the increasing number of cruise ships is scaring away the wildlife they depend on. Scientists also warn that these animals are also being poisoned by chemicals from factories on the other side of the world.
