‘It's too warm’: Greenland’s traditional fishers pushed towards polluting practices as ice melts

Fisherman Helgi Áargil no longer knows what to expect on Greenland's fjords, where he spends up to five days at a time on his boat with his dog, Molly, and the ever-changing Northern Lights in the sky as company.
