A nice cover from Greenland, celebrating the World Heritage UNESCO site known as "Aasivissuit Nipisat Inuit - Hunting Ground between Ice and Sea".
Nipisat Island is a small, uninhabited island in the Qeqqata municipality in central-western Greenland. The island is notable for its well preserved Saqqaq culture archaeological site, containing some stone artifacts that were previously unknown from the Saqqaq culture. The Saqqaq people are not the ancestors of modern Kalaallit people, rather they are related to modern Chukchi and Koryak peoples. The site, named after the island, was discovered in 1989 by Finn Kramer, curator of the Sisimiut Museum. It lies approximately 50 m from the present coastline, situated on raised beaches with a southeastern slope. The area elevation ranges between 9 m and 13 m above mean sea level. This part of the island that contains the archaeological site, did not show signs of later occupation by Dorset culture or Thule culture. However, it does show signs of pre-Dorset, and of Arctic small tool tradition. During the five year evacuation period of 1989–1994, over 70,000 bone fragments and approximately 1,000 artifacts were recovered, including 314 tools.
On 30 June 2018, it was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
