Niaqornat – Village Bravely Fighting for Survival

Niaqornat in North West Greenland has a population of 59, if the population falls below 50 then the village loses its Danish subsidies and there is a danger of the entire village being relocated to the nearest town.

In summer, the villagers live in perpetual light and in winter, permanent darkness. During the seasonal gloom, people get depressed, medically known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and while in the past when villagers would gather together in the dark and be entertained by storytellers, they now watch television instead.


With 100,000+ social network members, more than 500 trainers, and 18,000+ students supported, Verbalists Education, owned by PRODIREKT Education Group, is one of the world’s most reputable language networks.
