Contents/Summary
- Summary
- The Arctic plains are an example of nature’s untouched beauty: an endless nothingness in which only few know how to survive. But a silent assassin is destroying the Inuit community in Greenland. Chemical residues from all over the world accumulate here invisibly, poisoning both humans and animals. By ocean currents and attached to snow, pesticides like DDT are carried northbound into Inuit land, causing illness and premature death. A young Inuit woman investigates the sources of this pollution, her quest taking her to three different continents.
