That does stretch back hundreds and hundreds of years into prehistoric times.

And do we have a lot of archaeology surviving, which has been pieced together by archaeologists like yourselves over the years to learn more about these people and how they lived?

That is the incredible fact, isn't it?

You can look at other places that are very cold, whether it's in the Altai Mountains or high up in the Alps, where they do get those rare discoveries of organic material preserved in, as you say, these natural freezers.

to think that there is so much of that surviving in Greenland, that you have this invaluable record to learn more about how these people lived all along the coastline, as you say, all around Greenland.

So not just like the southern tip, you know, further north as well.

That's amazing.

You also mentioned in passing one of the things that survives is baleen.

Now, is that whale blubber?

Is it the bowhead?

Is it the bowhead whale?

I've got to ask for that straight away.

So have people like yourself, have you discovered prehistoric fishing lines made out of baleen that went hundreds of meters into the sea?

And Asta, we were talking about this just before we began recording.

Whereabouts in Greenland do you come from?

Because it's not, once again, it's not the southern tip.

It is quite high up in the, well, in the scheme of things in Greenland.

There's a mountain which overlooks the settlement.

I had a look on Google Maps of Umanak and I noticed that they also had a football pitch as well, like a football team, which is just amazing.

Even there, it's absolutely striking.
