It’s been quite the week for athletes in Nuuk. The capital of Greenland is overflowing with life.

Approximately 2,200 Canadians, Americans, Russians, and Samis are in the city, marking the largest event ever staged in Greenland.

Athletes are staying in Nuuk’s five public schools and one private school.

Rather than attend regular classes, Greenland students are being offered workshops in beadwork, drum dancing, kayaking and artwork.

The sporting event is primarily for youth between 13 and 18 years who compete in 15 different sports.
