from copenhagen, frankfurt, london, new york city. local officials say they re making efforts to avoid over tourism. we tried to learn from iceland, so we often go there to learn what they have done, like, when it boomed. there is a glacier, named sermeq kujalleq, meaning the southern glacier. it is one of the most active and fastest moving glaciers in the world. because of the ice here, there s rich life in the ocean. ilulissat is both a touristic city, but also a fisheries city, so it is very important for the local community. this unique place is a unesco world heritage site. but it s also seeing the impact of climate change. and that s explored at the icefjord centre ilulissat s newest attraction.
but now, it s booming again. this is my sixth season working in tourism. people come here to meet inuit. they know us for being welcoming but also, they come here, obviously, for the ice and the northern lights and the whales. i see more and more people knowing about greenland. chuckles. trump wanted to buy greenland back in 2019, which made a lot of people search about greenland. also because a lot more people are talking a lot more about climate change. we choose to come up here to ilulissat to see the big icebergs. we decided on greenland. a reason was to experience climate change at the hub i of it, so to speak. the nature is amazing. in austria, we also have glaciers, but not such an experience.
i m not going to say there is or there isn t a creature in loch ness, but i have seen some strange phenomenon on the water like the waves. you know, they really catch you out and you ll see a log on the surface travelling the wrong way against the current and you think, how can that be? but there s lots of scientific explanations for it but, yeah, it can be quite interesting. asides from nessie, it s a beautiful trip past castle ruins through stunning landscapes a perfect way to end my day trip to inverness. and as more tourists return, perhaps something else will, too. bagpipes skirl 0k, to finish this week, we re off to ilulissat, in northern greenland. a place where dramatic glaciers, spectacular icebergs and a rich inuit culture combine to make a once in a lifetime bucket list destination. but this most northerly part of the world is on the brink of change in more ways than one, as keith wallace now
this unique place is a unesco world heritage site. but it s also seeing the impact of climate change. and that s explored at the icefjord centre ilulissat s newest attraction. the arctic is warming faster than the rest of the planet. for centuries, the inuit have lived with the ice. but traditional ways of life are also shifting. ane sofie and flemming own a sled dog tour business. we have 33 greenlandic sled dogs. it s a very unique kind of breed. they are adapted to being out in the nature and also, when it s very cold outside. it s just lovely to ride the sled dogs and also going for hunting orfishing.
perhaps something else will, too. bagpipes skirl ok, to finish this week, we re off to ilulissat, in northern greenland. a place where dramatic glaciers, spectacular icebergs and a rich inuit culture combine to make a once in a lifetime bucket list destination. but this most northerly part of the world is on the brink of change in more ways than one, as keith wallace now reports. lying inside the arctic circle is the coastal town of ilulissat. it s a place that lives up to its namesake, meaning iceberg in greenlandic. so this place is a unique place because of the icebergs. it gives me a thrill because i never know how the water is going to be and how the ice condition
