Wool #1: The history of Faroese wool
If you have ever visited The Faroe Islands, you know that sheep outnumber humans on the beautiful islands located in the North Atlantic.
The islands are named after the sheep, the Viking settlers found when they first sailed there, the name deriving from ‘Fær’ an old Norse word for sheep.

Role models: Malou Media
For Nuuk based entrepreneur Martin Nordlund, innovation and entrepreneurship is about getting out of your comfort zone, because that is where you learn the most, and learning is the most important part of life. Don’t be afraid of the hardship, be curious and transform your insecurities into your motivation and grow with the task.
Taming the sea
Heini Winthereig-Rasmussen from RÁK Ocean Engineering on The Faroe Islands spends his time analysing hydrodynamics, and more specially how the currents affect fish farming sea cages.
Greenlandic dialects
There are roughly four different dialects in Greenland – the Western Greenlandic (the main dialect), Southern Greenlandic, Northern Greenlandic and the Eastern Greenlandic.
Even though there are only about 56,562 people living in Greenland, because of the vast distances, dialects even differ from one town to another. Sometimes a completely different word is used for the same sentence, and other times the same word is used but pernounced differently.
