""I came across the title of the book in an Air Greenland survey in which passengers were asked what they thought of Greenland. Someone had written down the phrase 'Keep Greenland a secret' and that, in my opinion, hit the paradoxical nail on the head. You would wish that this beautiful island, which has been tranquil and cold for centuries and has only a handful of inhabitants--who have become blended in with their land--could remain as it is. But that is not the way the world works. Modern times are rapidly making their appearance through the climate crisis, Facebook, global economy and tourism, among other things. The title of the book should therefore also be interpreted as an appeal to treat this country and its inhabitants with care. I do not focus specifically on the climate issue and the melting of the icecap, although those subjects are covered as well. I mainly try to sketch an image of the island, the landscape and its inhabitants. This is part 1, which in 180 photographs gives a depiction of the west and east of Greenland."-- On back of cover."@en

""My first trip to Greenland was for a photo project about mail boats. I sailed with the Greenland postal ferry Sarfaq Ittuk from the southern tip of Greenland to Ilulissat on the Diskobay. It was in the early spring of 2015. There was still plenty of snow and at the end of the journey the sun no longer set. There mail boat sometimes got stuck in the ice. We sailed through the Diskobay surrounded by towering icebergs. I found it beautiful and exciting. I soon decided to return and did so in 2018 and 2019. However, it was not only the scenery that captivated me. It was also the people who lived there and the fact that by the melting icecap major changes were going to take place on earth and therefore also in Greenland. This photo book is the first part of my Greenlandic experiences. I use a geographical perspective and will elaborate on the following areas: • by mail boat Sarfaq Ittuk, sailing from the south of Greenland to Nuuk; • Nuuk, capital of Greenland; • by mail boat Sarfaq Ittuk, sailing from Nuuk to Ilulissat on the Diskobay; • Diskobay; • East Greenland; • the Scoresbysund fjord system."-- Foreword (page [7])."@en
