Eager for a festival in Greenland?

Eskimos (Indian), who came to the Arctic more than 3,000 years ago, are said to be descendants of the Mongols. Currently, there are about 80,000 people in the world, mostly living in Greenland (Denmark) in the Arctic Circle, the Arctic Ocean coast of Canada and Alaska in the United States.

The most solemn holiday of the Inuit is "New Year's Day". However, they are not a fixed day on "New Year's Day", but depends on the weather. Whenever the white snowflakes fly in the sky for the first time, they call this day "New Year's Day", and people whisper the beginning of the new year.

On this day, they looked at the beautiful crystal snowflakes, congratulated each other, and happily welcomed the arrival of the new year.

This "igloo" was created by the Inuit in a harsh environment. Or where would they go to live in the vast ice and snow? They have to figure out a way to keep themselves alive!

After pressing the snow blocks, they polished the surface to make "snow bricks". They also made a "tent" out of the fur of sea animals, and pressed the "snow bricks" on top of the "tent" one by one, which was the "snow room".

The "igloo" is round, which not only blocks the biting cold wind, but also protects the roof from melting. In the "Igloo", they also built a fire to keep warm from the cold! The clever Inuit made a stone stove out of stones, filled it with oil fried by sea beasts, kneaded into a wick with animal hair, and lit it, even when it was below zero degrees Celsius outside.

The low temperature of 30 or 40 degrees Celsius is still quite warm in the house. In the warm season, they leave the "igloos" and live on the shore in "mud houses" made of stones and earth. If you want to stay in the "igloo", you have to change the roof to leather or canvas, otherwise the roof will collapse once it melts.

Hunting is a traditional way of life for the Inuit. Or rather, hunting in the Arctic is the "prerogative" of the Inuit. They have been hunting for generations.

In northern Greenland, they hunt seals at the turn of winter and summer, bird hunting and fishing in June and August, and reindeer hunting in September. At the northern tip of Alaska, seal hunting is the main thing throughout the year, with reindeer hunting at the turn of winter and summer, and whaling in April and May.

Other inhabitants of the Arctic region: in addition to the Inuit, there are a very small number of Nenets, Chukchi, Russians and Norwegians.

Greenland has about 5 months of polar daylight, which is 5 months of daylight. At the same time, there are about 5 months of polar night, that is, dark night.

Greenland is about 200 square kilometers and is the largest island in the world. 80% of the area is covered by snow and ice, and it has the largest ice sheet outside of Antarctica. And his name, Greenland, is full of greenery, thanks to Eric the "Redbeard" 1,000 years ago.

This Viking who was exiled to Iceland for his sins, after discovering Greenland, in order to attract more people to this wild land to expand his territory, he deliberately described Greenland as a green island, full of birds and flowers, and flocks of cattle and sheep.

The island's aborigines are supposed to be Inuit, who are actually a branch of the Eskimos, who are similar to Asians in terms of facial contour because they belong to the Arctic type. Because in the Indian language family, "Eskimo" is translated as "people who love raw meat", which is discriminatory, so more countries and governments now call the indigenous people of the Arctic "Inuit", which means "children of the earth".
