Abandoned village in Greenland sees revival
by editors@theworld.org (Carolyn Beeler) from The World: Latest Stories on (#711YW)
The community of Qoornoq, on a small island about an hour's boat ride from the capital of Nuuk, was shuttered decades ago as part of Danish government efforts to modernize and consolidate Greenland's population. But in recent decades, it's become a summer getaway for former residents and descendants of those who used to live there. The World's Carolyn Beeler visits the island to speak with people there, and learn about the legacy of forced relocation on Greenland.
