What’s dog sledding like?
Dr. Dyerberg: It’s a great experience to do dog sledding, especially when the weather is good. In bad weather it can be really tough! We werein Greenland several times in the 1970s and early ’80s and I have had the opportunity to visit Greenland a few times since, experiencing the rapid transition—for good and for bad—to Westernized ways of living. The Eskimos, or Inuits as they prefer to be called, now also experience the diseases related to our culture such as diabetes, obesity, and heart diseases.
