Living with the Inuit with Geraldine Osborne

With Greenland in the news, Cork doctor Geraldine
Osborne’s recently published account of the year
she, her husband and their three small children spent
living in the Arctic is timely.  


Dining on seal and walrus meat in temperatures as low as
–40, travelling by dog sled and sewing clothes from animal
skins in the traditional Inuit way is not standard fare
for a doctor on a sabbatical, but it makes a fascinating
story.  


 


With insights into the Inuit way of life in Canada and
Greenland, and the impact of climate change, this is a
unique look at a world that has all but vanished with
the melting polar ice. 


Dr Geraldine Osborne, author of Somewhere Cold, is the guest on
today’s episode of the Deirdre O’Shaughnessy Podcast.
