Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Report on the Resources of Iceland and Greenland, 1868 We have no account of the country again till Pliny Miles, an American, goes there, in 1852, on a pleasure tour.

Excerpt: ... numbers3 in all the rivers and lakes, especially in those which flow into Borgarfjordhr.4 Near the river Hvita Forbes v)sited5 an establishment belonging to Messrs. Ritchie of Peterhead, where nine Scotchmen were engaged in preserving the salmon collected by the Icelanders in the neighboring streams. They had had a bad season, having caught only 20,000 pounds in weight, 30,000 being their usual average. Several similar establishments5 exist on the various salmon rivers, and there is one in the north from which 50,000 pounds of kippered fish are annually sent to Denmark.5 The supply is literally inexhaustible.5 Laxa river is one of the greatest localities for salmon fishery.6 Here, even as far back as 1810, Mackenzie finds the natives catching 2,000 and 3,000 pounds of fish, and recommends the occupation as fit for good speculation." There are six kinds of salmon. For a description of the Icelandic manner of catching fish, see Henderson, page 414; also, Hooker, vol. I, p. 226. Shark and seal.--But the sea contains other fish besides the cod. The shark and seal fisheries have their importance. On the north coast7 of the island sharks are caught in great abundance a few miles from land.8 This fishing is done iu the summer season, from April to the beginning of September.8 The shark oil, or rather1 the shark-liver oil, is boiled out at little establishments on the coast;8 the shark skin is made into shoes,7 and the flesh is smoked and eaten.7 There is a kind of dog-shark, which is considered an especial luxury. Before it is fit for eating and ripe for appreciation, it must have been buried two years in the sand. The epicures of Iceland consider this their " crack" dish; its only disadvantage being that it renders the eater...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides fascinating examples of the ways renewable and sustainable energy can support economic growth, which will be illuminating for academic researchers and students, as well as those interested in green investment opportunities.The distinctive glacial, volcanic and oceanic environments of Iceland and Greenland supply abundant renewable energy resources in the form of hydropower and geothermal energy. As one of the few nations in the world with 100% renewable electricity production, Iceland is a compelling case study of a sustainable energy driven economy. Consideration of Greenland provides an interesting contrast, as its enormous potential for hydropower scale-up has only been minimally harnessed. The variable and fixed cost factors governing further expansion and export of the regions' sustainable power via sub-sea cable are detailed.

Download or read book The Shaping of Greenland’s Resource Spaces written by Mark Nuttall and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-07 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines ideas about the making and shaping of Greenland’s society, environment, and resource spaces. It discusses how Greenland’s resources have been extracted at different points in its history, shows how acquiring knowledge of subsurface environments has been crucial for matters of securitisation, and explores how the country is being imagined as an emerging frontier with vast mineral reserves. The book delves into the history and contemporary practice of geological exploration and considers the politics and corporate activities that frame discussion about extractive industries and resource zones. It touches upon resource policies, the nature of social and environmental assessments, and permitting processes, while the environmental and social effects of extractive industries are considered, alongside an assessment of the status of current and planned resource projects. In its exploration of the nature and place of territory and the subterranean in political and economic narratives, the book shows how the making of Greenland has and continues to be bound up with the shaping of resource spaces and with ambitions to extract resources from them. Yet the book shows that plans for extractive industries remain controversial. It concludes by considering the prospects for future development and debates on conservation and Indigenous rights, with reflections on how and where Greenland is positioned in the geopolitics of environmental governance and geo-security in the Arctic. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental anthropology, geography, resource management, extractive industries, environmental governance, international relations, geopolitics, Arctic studies, and sustainable development.

Download or read book The History of Iceland written by Gunnar Karlsson and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iceland is unique among European societies in having been founded as late as the Viking Age and in having copious written and archaeological sources about its origin. Gunnar Karlsson, that country's premier historian, chronicles the age of the Sagas, consulting them to describe an era without a monarch or central authority. Equating this prosperous time with the golden age of antiquity in world history, Karlsson then marks a correspondence between the Dark Ages of Europe and Iceland's "dreary period", which started with the loss of political independence in the late thirteenth century and culminated with an epoch of poverty and humility, especially during the early Modern Age. Iceland's renaissance came about with the successful struggle for independence in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and with the industrial and technical modernization of the first half of the twentieth century. Karlsson describes the rise of nationalism as Iceland's mostly poor peasants set about breaking with Denmark, and he shows how Iceland in the twentieth century slowly caught up economically with its European neighbors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greenland has increasingly captivated imaginations around the globe. Yet, while it is central to the Arctic region, its role has been poorly understood. Greenland in Arctic Security delivers a comprehensive overview of how security dynamics unfold in and in relation to Greenland. Each individual chapter analyzes specific discourses and dynamics pertaining to hard or soft security questions. These span from great power interests in geostrategic infrastructure to domestic debates centered on promoting and protecting Greenland identity when engaging with the outside world. In addition, the book offers perspectives on other security questions that have been catalyzed by the effects of climate change. By combining these different analyses, Greenland in Arctic Security provides new, theoretically informed discussions on how security politics can manifest across different scales and territorial borders. At times, these politics can have consequences beyond their original intent. With Greenland geopolitics and securitization theory of current interest to political and academic debates, this book offers timely insights for readers.
