Real Talk:
Despite our attempt at keeping our Greenland Travel Documentary as authentic as possible, you are still watching a highlight reel. When editing, we naturally tend to choose the most exciting clips.
Hunting:
The people of Greenland hunt seals, whales, and dolphins. Other than fish, these marine mammals are an important food source. Every part of the animal is used. Still, among some, this type of hunting will spark outrage. However, understand that very little grows in Greenland, as the summer lasts only around 2 months. Most fruits and vegetables, as well as all other types of food, need to be imported, causing high transport costs and emissions and resulting in astronomical prices. No citizen of Europe or North America has any right to judge the lifestyle of these people who rely on locally available, sustainable food sources.
Do we prefer whales swimming wild and free in the ocean? 100%. However, in our daily lives, most of us have the luxury of buying everything we could think of in a nearby supermarket. Greenlanders do not have that option.
Greenlanders know where their food comes from. Most of us in the West do not. It is easy to judge people and their lifestyles even if we know little about them. And if after all of that, you still believe Greenlanders should stop hunting seals, you are placing ideology above reason.
Full Disclosure:
This trip was supported by Visit Greenland. The tourism board paid for our flights from Iceland to Kulusuk as well as our helicopter flight from Kulusuk to Tasiilaq. Moreover, they supported us by funding some of the activities. Additionally, we didn’t have to pay for the trips with Tasiilaq Tours and Nunatak Adventures. All accommodations and other activities were self-funded.

This is why I stopped watching public television. Your documentary is soo much better than anything on TV. And Greenland is simply stunning, especially with such beautiful weather. Wanna go badly
Thank you so much! We truly appreciate that! 🥰
Me too, broadcast TV is left in the dust by this and your other documentaries. Very impressed.
I think the same
EXACTLY!!!!!
FABULOUS documentary!!!! Thank you
I think you're the best travel videographer entirely. The views, the added information about a place and how you share a place with us is truly genius.
Yours isn't just travel but a work of art. I thought Iceland had the end of the world vibes, but boy oh boy Greenland takes the crown.
Thank you so much! Your kind words really mean a lot to us ❤️ very much appreciate it 🥰
32 years old, going through a bad phase in life, and your Norwegian documentary inspired me to take a life-changing trip that changed the course of my year and quite possibly the future. It unlocked the wondrous wanderlust inside me. You guys are absolutely incredible.
This video felt like a fine tuning of the soul and its alignment with nature in its rawest form. Greenland, I see you ❤
Thank you so much! We truly wish you all the best and hope you will have many unforgettable adventures in the future. Always keep exploring, be it near or far ❤
Lucas & Anna thanks so much for the breathtaking trip to Greenland. 😊 WOW how beautiful is this island with the colorful houses, magnificent icebergs, glaciers & much more. And the baby sled dog was precious. All of your travel documentaries have been spellbinding at the spectacular sights found on planet earth. Hope it will all be preserved. Loved your poem which summed up the meaningful history of Greenland & your voice which is mesmerizing. Thanks you two. Continue to wander & we will continue to follow 👍🏻🙋🏼♀️🇺🇸❤️
Thank you so much! Really happy to hear you enjoyed the poem and the documentary in general ❤️ More films coming next year for sure 😊
I adore your documentaries! They are excellent quality and beautifully produced! You are so inspiring! Please continue!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We already have a lot of plans for 2024, so more documentaries coming 😊
This is not just an usual documentary it's a pure ART! Dosen't matter where you go it's a pleasure to watch your videos in home with family!! Love from India.
Thank you! 🥰❤️
I am bewitched by Lukas's poetic descriptions of the dancing icebergs, endless surfices of untouched ice glaciers, simple and uncomfortable living conditions of Inuits, the howling of resilient and beautiful sled dogs, the iconic views of fjords and the final and unforgettable dance of Lady Aurora. What a soothing antidose to our hectic life and surroundings!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We always love to read such kind comments and yours truly put a smile on our faces ❤
Lucas, you're the best creator of travel documentary on youtube, by far! Thanks for another great one.. looking forward to see it with a glass of wine in my hand. Cheers!

Another phenomenal documentary! What a magnificent place - this really inspires me to make a trip. Thank you!
Tell me why am just discovering this channel. This is the best travel documentary channel ever. Much love from Kenya
You did it again man. Awesome vid.
I seen Greenland from the air once. It was new years 2004. I was on a military flight that passed over Greenland. I remember seeing the ice sheet below and the Northern Lights. It was almost like we were among them and you could see the lights sort of reflecting off the ice below. It is probably one of the most beautiful images I have ever witnessed. I would love to see Greenland up close.
Wow, that sounds like a surreal view! 😮
Wow wow beautiful documentry nice one Lucas 👍👍
Amazing green Land villages mountains lakes valley beautiful views
CZcams randomly recommended and I thought your channel should have like million subs! Watching your content in 4k tv is gold🎉 keep up some good work😊
I knew Greenland was big, but no where this big when I studied in college. I get the same overwhelming feeling about Alaska, and it looks like a postage stamp compared to Greenland.
Enjoy your youth and ability to backpack and rough it. I’m a tree person so will stick with the Alaskan mountains.
But thank you for sharing this Grand Adventure! So kind of you! We must know what we like to understand what might not be our ideal.
Greenland is truly massive, almost incomprehensibly so. Alaska is a whole other chapter of our astonishing planet, and we loved our time when we visited in 2017. Hopefully we can return one day :)
@@LucasTJahn, both totally different with their own different beauty, but yes, not sure how many Alaskas would fit in Greenland. Just can’t get my head around it. Enjoy the journey. Be safe!
As always: I enjoyed your documentary. Keep going in doing the good work with the camera.
Thank you Lucas .... You are doing a great help to the world travel lovers understand about such wonderful places, enjoy it. like me unable to visit ever such places. But explorer like you giving opportunity to enjoy the places as we are traveling with you. thank you. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much! 🥰
I always enjoy these, keep up the good work man
mind-blowing ICE Caves
Thank you for taking the time to make such relaxing and peaceful music for everyone. Relaxation is such an important part of the day. Make sure you take time for yourself, everyone. Love and light 💖💖💖💖💖🙌
Thank you for making this fantastic video. Your poem is heartfelt and speaks to your audience.

What a spectacular view ❤️❤️
It truly is glorious 😊
Absolutely stunning footage and really well narrated too.
And for anyone who might be upset about Greenlanders hunting seals, do some reading up on Canadian fur seal “hunting” and how they still club baby fur seals, as part of commercial operations.
Lucas und Anna- sich eure Videos anzuschauen fühlt sich an, als wäre man mit dabei. Dein Talent die Natur und die Landschaft künstlerisch und so informativ zu beschreiben, ist unglaublich. Ich könnte mir eure Videos stundenlang ansehen! 🙏🏼

Excellent documentary but to see empty drums and machinery was heart breaking. Some one has to clean the mess before it becomes ecological problem. Thanks and best Regards for showing us this hidden gem...
Eva, you're going to be ok! I've had the last 2 years like yours, due to two failed back surgeries and a bad hip. Hang in there, I am. When I get these medical issues resolved I'm off to the races - at age 70.
I love your style and spirit of adventure. I'd love to hang out with you if I hadn't been married 40 years LOL. "Keep on trucking" as we used to say.
I believe that comment was not meant for us but for Eva zu Beck? 😅
Lovely video guys. Come to Cyprus as well❤❤❤
画面太棒了，配音也很有磁性，很喜欢你的频道。
Love you from Pakistan 🇵🇰 my bro
I big fan of you 💗

Thank you 😊
Lucas & Anna you are the best travel vlog youtuber in the world i have been silently watching your videos all the way from Kenya i noticed 1 thing about your wife she does not speak too much and interrupt you she gives you time to carefully take us though all these amazing destinations congratulations and welcome to Kenya happy new year
Lucas and Anna, thank you so much for sharing your experiences in East Greenland with this splendid video. It is a cinematographic piece of art 😍 All those magnificent views, or small details in the Greenlandic nature, together with your pleasant and clear narration, loaded with interesting information, give an unforgettable experience also for us, the subscribers of your channel, or other audience. Please, visit also the Western parts of Greenland 👍
Thank you so much, Paula! We definitely want to visit West Greenland one day. So much more to discover 😍
The best travel/ nature documentaries across all media.
Your command of the English language puts me (a native speaker) to shame.
Excellent poem 😌
Thank you so much! Very happy to hear you enjoyed the poem ❤
great
Funny i had to watch this as im going to Tasilaq this summer.. i did think about polar bears & needing a gun as planning to go hiking & camping great narration & documentary 👍
Yeah, definitely be 'bear aware' :)
Another brilliant film from Lucas T Jahn. Just over 3 weeks ago I fell of my bike when cycling home and cracked several ribs, so I have had to spend more time inside than I would normally do. Thats how I discovered your fantastic channel. But before that, I cycle everywhere because I am concerned about Global Warming. I had watched a video on You Tube The History of Earth How our Planet Formed and this covers a lot including Snow Earth and the last Ice Age. When watching this fantastic film and seeing the 1st lifeforms leave the oceans and move inland, I could not get the thought of what it would have been like to witness that. Although in a warmer much greener enviroment. You could imagine this forever, or......Go and visit Greenland Another point to make when watching that massive form of Ice. Could you imagine the destruction to large parts of the world if that had to melt in only a few years, which could be brought forward if we hit that 2 Celsius mark.and accelerate Global Warming. Thanks for posting. Maybe this video with all that Ice should be used to promote the fight against Global Warming. We have to wake up to it.
