WELCOME TO ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST ISOLATED PLACES - GREENLAND!
Today I arrived in one of the world's most remote villages, way out here on the rugged North Eastern shores of Greenland. It's called Ittoqqortoormiit (say that 5 times fast) and it's a fascinating place that feels like I'm on the moon!
Very few outsiders have ever visited this village because it's so remote, and I'm lucky to be one of them on board this Hurtigruten expedition!
Ittoqqortoormiit has a population of around 350 and the nearest town is thousands of kilometers away. The locals are called Inuits (the same ethnic group as Eskimos), and they survive from hunting and eating polar bears, walrus, seals, and whales.
Could you ever live here? Let me know in the comments below!

My hometown! I miss seal soup 😭😋 and Niels is my cousin! 👌🏼
Wow that's cool. Have you ever hunted a walrus, a seal, a polar bear or something like that, or ridden a dog sled?
How do I get there as a tourist when things get back to normal :)?

Hey
Hmmmmm....
I always think about this little town on New Year's Eve. The UTC -1 timezone is really only used by Cape Verde, the Azores, and Ittoqqortoormiit, so it's a pretty lonely celebration of the New Year for them.
I'm sure they love to celebrate amongst themselves since it seems to be such a tight knit community
Same! They’re the one on the Global time zone map for new years eve lol
that makes them extra precious !
What did you say about Cape Verde 🇨🇻

lie at almost the same longitude, which means they have christmas the same day, on a world graphic that is quite unique
seeing the distances! But then I take my town in Germany and follow the longitude south, so I'll have christmas at the same
time as i.e. Tunesia, Niger, Nigeria, parts of Benin and last Antarctica! hahahahahaha

Wait I thought it was only my family
Love the local kid!! What a nice guy. Everyone looks happy- I think it’s nice there’s people out there living in close communities.
If you try it,you will change opinion
Inbreeding must be terrible though.
If you check Greenland is the country with the highest rate of suicides in the world. Not so happy, I guess ;-;
@@hugolafhugolaf you might think that, but hunter-gatherers like them sometimes move to different settlements and intermingle. the population is big enough (and so many people are coming to greenland each year as it gets better to live in) that interbreeding isn't as big of a problem as you might expect, same for the Sami people in Scandinavia
@@eVill420 life is pretty boring there tho
The local people look like North American Indian people, while not too far way Iceland people look like from Europe. It is really interesting to know many years ago how their ancestors traveled all the way and settled at where they are now.
That's because the indigenous people of Greenland are Inuit background and culturally have a lot in common with the Inuit of Canada and Alaska. They're descended from the Thule people (a proto-Inuit people that are considered the ancestors of modern Inuit) that migrated from Eastern Canada to Greenland between 1200-1400AD.
Probably same people you see in eastern Russia, Mongolia and Korea. Maybe somehow related to people in east and southeast Asia (just my observation)
@@athenstar10 its true they came around 15000 years ago from the beringia strait from asia to america and canada and moved even down through mexico, spread till the Amazon rainforest.
They are mongloids. The same racial stock as chinese, Japanese, South East Asian, Native Americans, eskimos.
that’s why they wanted to be in North American continentsc they are Inuit people and Europeans are not Inuit/native Indian/Americans but Denmark owns them
His giggles are so sweet and warm.
No way I could live there, but I got a lot of respect for communities that live like that

What a remote place to live in! I am astonished listening to there way of survival in Ittoqquortoormiit Greenland, it's such a beautiful peace of nature to admire, I would love to especially visit this small town, sometimes we need to appreciate the smallest things in life, cause life can't be comfortable wherever you go, it's not a bed of roses, but an appreciation of nature!

I’m danish and have been to Greenland many times. Love Greenland and the people. They have a lot of problems but - when they can - they have a great balance in life. Thanks for your video.
what are some of the problems?
@@tikomalven9716 Alcohol and a culture that doesn’t fit completely in “normal” culture. They have always been hunters. Living from day to day. But what is normal ? I’m not sure we are right. They have a beautiful balance with nature. The problems comes when they have to “fit in”.
I’m not talking about everybody in Greenland. Extremely large country with a very difficult infrastructure and very few people. Google it and you will know. You can compare the problems with native americans. Same story. Denmark have tried to force Greenland to change. Just like in the US. I don’t know if you are from Greenland. Just want to tell you I love Greenland, the people and the nature.
@@wvideoyahoodk do many of them live in very poor conditions?
@@tikomalven9716 I think you should ask people from Greenland bout that.I´m danish. Have been there many times - but I don’t know the inner soul. You can’t unless you are one of them. I’ve seen both. Poor and rich. But what is poor ? I’ve met so many happy people in Greenland. Some would say they live poor. Without ignoring problems in Greenland I would say many people could learn a lot from people in Greenland. It’s not simple. It’s a clash between two ways of living. I prefer the inuit way of living with nature. I my selves live in a forest part of Denmark. I go fishing, hunting and have my kayak. Live in a wooden house 50 km from a town. Love it her. But I also work in a big city - and love to go home :-)
Where are you from ? Sounds Finnish ! Or Same !
They look cool lol
Its so cool to me that the guy you are talking to have a VERY distinct Danish accent on his English (I am Danish myself) as Greenland is under the Kingdom of Denmark. This guy does not sound different at all to me, than any regular person I would meet in Copenhagen, yet he lives in one of the most remote places in the world.
I have been loving your videos recently about Greenland 🇬🇱. It’s nice learning about isolated place on our planet. Keep up the good work Drew.

Ittoqqortoormiit: We have no oil here
U.S: You guys don't need democracy then
"Greenland is believed by some geologists to have some of the world's largest remaining oil resources"
that's why several times US was interested to buy Greenland
US is actually really interested in Greenland right now and has been for the past few years

Great video! Greenland is so beautiful! I could not live there, perhaps in Nuuk though!
You should also check out Qaanaaq. Airplane once a week, and you don't even get the cruise ships upthere. The northest settlement in Greenland. The closest district is Upernavik in mid west Greenland.

Greenland is stunning. Greetings from Kulusuk! 🇬🇱
Greenland is about to experience an economic boom-geologists have discovered massive deposits of stuff like uranium, gold, rubies, and rare earth metals. Also indications of huge offshore oil deposits. Whether this will benefit ordinary Greenlanders is the question, A vast country like Greenland (with a tiny population) would be overwhelmed by an influx of miners, workers, etc.

I never expected these kind of remote places from you.... amazing content...just mind blown , and sometimes goosebumps to see these places.

Wow what a fascinating place! I found it really interesting learning about how they survive and was surprised that some of the people that live there look kind of like Kazakhs, I wasn't expecting that type of look! Thanks for the insight to this fascinating place Drew! 🙌🙌🙌
The picture shown @ 2:35 is NOT of Greenland. It shows some trees. Greenland has no trees.
There is a russian city of Norilsk, which is exactly the same weatherwise, even with northern lights. And its not expensive at all, in fact, most of the people try to flee it. So come there, if you worried that Svalbard is rather pricy

Iceland=covered in greenery
Greenland=covered in ice
_why, vikings..._
Logic
I thought it was because they didn't want people to go to Iceland so they named it after very cold place. Over time when people left Iceland to colonise other regions they wanted more people to go so when they arrived at what is Greenland they name it that so more people would come. The opposite of why they named Iceland.
Yup😂😂 Vikings
@@stephenfox5709 nice information bro didn't ask but you got the information when needed 👏 (no offense also)
I live in Iceland and can tell you. When settlers arrived in Iceland in was all covered in ice when they first arrived and saw the place. As far as Greenland goes they were trying to trick more settlers in going their hence the name Greenland.

Yeah the view looks like no rich man can buy, peacefull, no traffic or anything but it also seems like it can get pretty boring there's literally no where to go, no girls to meet. If you could bring a whole lot of cute girls and some cool things to do I'd call it paradise lol.
That's when the cameras are rolling. Go on an average day. I am pretty sure they made alcohol illegal too.
This place looks like a paradise. But Greenland (like many arctic communities) suffers from very high levels of suicide over crowding and domestic abuse. A beautiful areas but not without it's problems.
Yes. I feel it's almost downright irresponsible to talk about ittoqqtootmiit without mentioning the suicide rate. I imagine drew binsky came to ittoqqtootmiit for a light-hearted story about living in isolation, and got much more than he bargained for. Yes Theory has a video on ittoqqtootmiit that accurately portrays the town.
Yeah a paradise of rock and ice

You can grow veggie there it is a short growing season, if you build a cold frame. Also wild berries grow there, and they hunt birds, and use the eggs, and they fish, most foods are flown in

These people have not been doing it (the hunting segment) there for thousands of years. The Inuits settled Greenland around the 13th century. (About 4 centuries after the Vikings settled it & 2 centuries before it was recolonized by Denmark)
