Īmy Martin I just came up over this little rise. It cuts into the side of the hill, and for a few minutes, all I can see is rock.Īmy Martin Oh, what? Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh. Not going to the beach.Īnd then the path begins to lead up. Risk of sudden tsunami waves caused by calving icebergs. It leads me down into a valley, where I come upon this cheerful notice:Īmy Martin Extreme danger.

I step onto a long boardwalk that snakes off through a marshy field of tall green grass. There’s a steep, rocky hill in front of me, and off to my right, the ocean is sparkling in the sun. It’s a small town on Greenland’s west coast. Welcome to Threshold, I’m Amy Martin, and I’m in a place called Ilulissat. And I happened to have my microphone on, so just come along with me for a minute, as I walk through a maze of sled dog houses, with no idea of what’s waiting for me, just ahead. But on this day, in July 2017, in Greenland, I had a completely different sort of experience of the Arctic than what we’re hearing about in the news. Climate change, polar bears, it’s all really, really sad. Now, I know what you’re thinking – that word Arctic, it’s nothing but bad news.
