Expedition Spotlight - The Greenlandic Sheep Wool Project

  • Dec 2024

he Greenlandic Sheep Wool Project is the very first project in the Arctic sponsored by the Artisan Fund aboard the National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions fleet. Working with local educator and artisan, Ellen Frederiksen, whose husband is a descendent of Greenland’s first sheep farmer, this initiative provided critical equipment to help the people of Qassiarsuk process wool, train artisans, and create blankets, mittens, yarn and more to sell to both visitors and locals. In this episode of Expedition Spotlight, learn more about the storied sheep-farming settlement of Qassiarsuk and how the Artisan Fund is helping to empower and uplift this remote community.
