Return of the sun

Student's book for the intermediate level

Does all of Greenland experience welcoming the Sun back?

Where does the light come from during polar nights?

Why does it differ when the sun returns in Ilulissat and Upernavik?

For many weeks the Sun does not show and polar darkness descends on Ilulissat. With the Sun gone, does that mean total darkness, or are there other natural sources of light?

Midnight sun and northern lights

Seqernup qungujulluni nunarput nuilaaraa aputip qaallorinnini katassimalereeraa ata tusarpiuk qaqeqqaqaarpaluk: Aqissip qiimmalerluni nipaa?

The Sun rises, smiles towards our country The snow loses its blinding glow Listen, have you heard it, the cackling, the merry sound of the grouse

Sanimut qiviaruit tumaarpalaap tungaanut takuiuk ikinngutit isigisoq ilinnut? Ata tusarpiuk ”kumoorn” oqarnera palersimasup qiimasup nipaa?

Avammut qiviaruit nipaarpalaap tungaanut tasamani takuigit qaqortut sukkangaartut? Ata tusarpiuk? Qataajaqerpaluk: Tipaatsungaartup taateraap nipaa?

When you look sideways towards footsteps in the creaking snow you see your friend who is looking at you Listen, have you heard it a happy Good Morning from a suntanned person

When you look towards the sea with the cries and shrieks from the birds Do you see it out there, the glittering white light Listen, have you heard it, the screech from a delighted kittiwake

Tamakku tusareerlugit siutivit tusaasai ilinnut qiviaruit malugisat sunaana? Ata tusarpiuk qujaniarpaluk: Upernalaami uummatip nipaa?

Listen as we have listened Look at yourself Feel what you feel Listen, have you heard it the sound of spring from a grateful heart

This is what it looks like at the Icefjord Centre in wintertime. On the next page you will see where Ilulissat is located.

Now you will listen to a podcast, called The Light Returns. The podcast takes place on Holms Bakke, also called Seqinniarfik. It means "The place where the Sun is bid welcome". When the Sun is bid welcome, it means that the light has returned after a long period of darkness. It is celebrated by singing, eating cake and drinking coffee.
