Dwindling snow threatens Greenland’s dogsled mushers’ way of life


Sisimiut (Denmark) (AFP) – Snow has become so scarce on Greenland’s east coast that even short dogsled journeys now break down, making the business of running dogsled tours increasingly economically unviable. With average temperatures on Greenland’s ice sheet 8.1°C higher in December than between 1991-2020, according to the Danish Meteorological Institute, dogsled mushers fear their ancestral way of life is under threat.
