For Greenland’s Dog Sledders, No Snow Means No Go

February 9, 2026

Across Greenland’s eastern coast, dog sledders and hunters are facing a growing crisis after the country experienced its warmest January on record. Massive lakes that should be frozen in thick layers of ice and snow, are instead bumpy and rough with icy patches that are making it tough for dog sledding. The hunting season for muskox has been delayed, hunters are now saying they’re relying on seal meat, which is harder to hunt when there’s no ice. Watch this video to see the change in this arctic landscape and hear from those trying to survive it.
