Today I visited the "Circumpolar Musings" site to get a Danemark-Greenland taste.
This article about Disko Bay was revealing:
"Temperatures plunged to -25°C earlier this month, clogging the bay with ice and making shipping impossible for small crafts, tells Anthon Frederiksen, the mayor of the town of Ilulissat, where Disko Bay is located. Frederiksen is happy about the ice conditions: "it's an advantage for fishermen who rely on dogsleds for transportation." The mayor cautioned against thinking that the freezing temperature indicated that global warming claims were overblown. He noted that a nearby glacier had retracted more in the past two decades than in recorded history."
It is a great relief that we can still use Dogsleds. As long as they are practical we can learn about them, how to build, maintain and use them. They are more adaptable, more mobile and less costly than motorized snow-mobiles and most importantly they don't run out of fuel.
These "Musings" are useful.

"Circumpolar musings" is an interesting feed. It raises the point that Canada has not committed to attend the conference on circumpolar lands in Denmark this year. Why is that?
