NORTHERN LIGHTSInuit Teens Make Their Own Scenes
PHOTOS BY EVA-MARIE RØDBRO
NEXT IMAGE >
Photographer Eva-Marie Rødbro, it would seem at first glance, is a bona fide lover of misery. Fresh off an assignment documenting young girls working as prostitutes in the Czech Republic, she returned to her native Denmark eager to investigate the suicide epidemic plaguing teenage Inuits in the last Danish colony, Greenland (a problem we covered in our Global Sadness Report in January). Not long after she set foot on the frozen soil of each of the two major cities—Aasiaat, up north, and Nuuk, the capital, in the south—Eva-Marie was beset by groups of super-duper-intense Eskimo kids. Intense not for their despair, but for their love of smiling, partying, hugging, giving and receiving high fives, making out, dancing… and just generally good-timing their cold little asses off. Greenland, it turns out, is the personification of the get-busy-living-or-get-busy-dying maxim. Either you’re killing yourself by walking off across the frozen sea into oblivion or you’re spending every waking hour jamming the fuck out with your best friends. There is no in between. So which would you prefer?

they look pretty with it to be surrounded by such shitty times. i’d like to make them a mixtape with the beach boys and big star and that one song love did that i can’t remember the name of right now. they make me feel like a wuss for bitching about the weather. | | Anonymous, on Feb 28, 2009 wrote:

do you think that when you grow up in a really cold place you think all top floors have sloped ceiling? that must be a mindfuck when you travel abroad and find out about flat roofs. | | Anonymous, on Feb 27, 2009 wrote:
that snow hole reminds me of my fort-building days. no one could fuck with me then. i had three logs, a plastic american flag tied to a tree branch, and camo pants with a single cargo pocket on my left leg. invincible baby. damn right. | | Anonymous, on Feb 26, 2009 wrote:
i’d like to make babies with them. they’d have short noses, hair the color of petrified wood, and we’d make sure they had great taste in music, of course. fuck all this depression bullshit. we’d bring happiness back to greenland one sweet day at a time. | |

in a matter of life and death, i’d share my tauntaun guts with both of these girls. it looks like really big pieces of rice, but it smells waaaaaay worse. | | Anonymous, on Feb 25, 2009 wrote:
something about nighties gets my dick harder than a statue made from a thousand diamonds | | Anonymous, on Feb 24, 2009 wrote:
when you’re living in permafrost, "jamming the fuck out" can be a little different than you and i mean it. a bottle of wine and a marathon hungry hungry hippos sesh might do it. | | Anonymous, on Feb 24, 2009 wrote:
Doesnt really look like they’re "jamming the fuck out."
Pretty boring actually. | | Anonymous, on Feb 24, 2009 wrote:
