As icebergs melt, so does Greenland's distaste for mining
As icebergs in the Kayak Harbour pop and hiss while melting away, this remote Arctic town and its culture are also disappearing as the climate changes.
Narsaq's largest employer, a prawn factory, closed a few years ago after the crustaceans fled north to cooler water. Where once there were eight commercial fishing vessels, there is now one. As a result, the population here, one of southern Greenland's major towns, has been halved to 1500 in just a decade.
Suicides are up.
