Greenland style Harpoon throwing
Greenlandic Unaaq (knob end harpoon) throwing practice on a cold December afternoon from the cockpit of my East Greenland style qajaq.
Qajaq is a replica of the KNK 1990x1 on display in the Greenland National Museum and surveyed in Harvey Golden's book, Kayaks of Greenland.
Plans for this kayak are available at Cape Falcon Kayak's online store.
The harpoon target is a pool noodle with the ends joined together with a plug to make a circle, and sized to make it's diameter the same as the 4 point ring on an official competition 2 meter concentric ring target.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using
a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Greenland (Greenlandic: Kalaallit Nunaat, pronounced [kalaːɬit nunaːt]; Danish: Grønland, pronounced [ˈɡʁɶnˌlanˀ]) is an autonomous constituent country of the Kingdom of Denmark between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, east of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Though physiographically a part of the continent of North America, Greenland has been politically and culturally associated with Europe (specifically Norway and Denmark, the colonial powers, as well as the nearby island of Iceland) for more than a millennium. The majority of its residents are Inuit, whose ancestors began migrating from the Canadian mainland in the 13th century, gradually settling across the island.
Greenland is the world's largest island. Australia and Antarctica, although larger, are generally considered to be continental landmasses rather than islands. Three-quarters of Greenland is covered by the only permanent ice sheet outside Antarctica. With a population of about 56,480 (2013), it is the least densely populated territory in the world. About a third of the population live in Nuuk, the capital and largest city. The Arctic Umiaq Line ferry acts as a lifeline for western Greenland, connecting the various cities and settlements.
Greenland has been inhabited off and on for at least the last 4,500 years by Arctic peoples whose forebears migrated there from what is now Canada. Norsemen settled the uninhabited southern part of Greenland beginning in the 10th century, having previously settled Iceland to escape persecution from the King of Norway and his central government. These Norsemen would later set sail from Greenland and Iceland, with Leif Erikson becoming the first known European to reach North America nearly 500 years before Columbus reached the Caribbean islands. Inuit peoples arrived in the 13th century. Though under continuous influence of Norway and Norwegians, Greenland was not formally under the Norwegian crown until 1262. The Norse colonies disappeared in the late 15th century when Norway was hit by the Black Death and entered a severe decline. Soon after their demise, beginning in 1499, the Portuguese briefly explored and claimed the island, naming it Terra do Lavrador (later applied to Labrador in Canada).In the early 17th century, Danish explorers reached Greenland again. To strengthen trading and power, Denmark–Norway affirmed sovereignty over the island. Because of Norway's weak status, it lost sovereignty over Greenland in 1814 when the union was dissolved. Greenland became Danish in 1814, and was fully integrated in the Danish state in 1953 under the Constitution of Denmark.
In 1973, Greenland joined the European Economic Community with Denmark. However, in a referendum in 1982, a majority of the population voted for Greenland to withdraw from the EEC, which was effected in 1985. Greenland contains the world's largest and most northerly national park, Northeast Greenland National Park (Kalaallit Nunaanni nuna eqqissisimatitaq). Established in 1974, and expanded to its present size in 1988, it protects 972,001 square kilometres (375,292 sq mi) of the interior and northeastern coast of Greenland and is bigger than all but twenty-nine countries in the world. Greenland is divided into five municipalities – Sermersooq, Kujalleq, Qeqertalik, Qeqqata, and Avannaata.Greenland does not have an independent seat at the United Nations.In 1979, Denmark granted home rule to Greenland, and in 2008, Greenlanders voted in favor of the Self-Government Act, which transferred more power from the Danish government to the local Greenlandic government. Under the new structure, in effect since 21 June 2009, Greenland can gradually assume responsibility for policing, judicial system, company law, accounting, and auditing; mineral resource activities; aviation; law of legal capacity, family law and succession law; aliens and border controls; the working environment; and financial regulation and supervision, while the Danish government retains ...
Un kayak Inuit vieux de deux siècles en restauration au musée Emmanuel Liais à Cherbourg
Un kayak du Groenland fait actuellement l'objet d'une restauration au coeur du museum Emmanuel Liais de Cherbourg. Ce kayak inuit ancêtre du kayak de mer est l'un des plus anciens conservés en France. Les deux autres sont au musée de la Marine et à Nantes rapportés par le même officier de Marine après une expédition à bord de La Recherche ( partie de Cherbourg en 1835 pour le sauvetage d'un autre navire la Lilloise) et légués à la Ville de Cherbourg. Les explorateurs de retour de mission avaient souvent une attention pour la ville de Cherbourg, une tradition qui permet aujourd'hui au Museum Emmanuel Liais de conserver des objets rares et précieux venus des quatre coins du monde.

Sne, sagn & slædefart - Polarforskeren Knud Rasmussen I
Et farverigt portræt i originale s/h-foto af videnskabsmanden og myten Knud Rasmussen. - Syv film skildrer det lokale særpræg og kulturelle mangfoldighed på Halsnæs.Se flere her:
Halsnæs er placeret mellem Kattegat, Isefjord, Roskilde Fjord & Arresø.
I en stribe fortællinger får du indblik i et lokalt autentisk univers
der ofte er usynligt ved første øjekast - fortællinger der tilsammen
udgør et slags kulturelt DNA og udtrykker den menneskelige
mangfoldighed det traditionsrige samfund som Halsnæs udgør.
Produceret af Abelone Bregninge 2014
i samarbejde med Søren la Cour Jensen, museumsinspektør Knud Rasmussens Hus
