DESCRIPTION:Publication date: 17th September 2026, translated by Kate Webster,
published by Akoya Publishing
‘Until recently, the sun did not set. Now the sunrise and sunset,
stretched out over many hours, are separated by a few hours of darkness. In
a little over a month, the darkness will come to govern everyday life.’
In the enveloping darkness of the polar night, journalist Ilona Wiśniewska
travelled to two of the most remote settlements in northern Greenland. She
was welcomed into the homes of the Inughuit people and immersed herself
into their lives, culture and history.
Intertwining narrative and photography, Glimmer is a love letter to the
lives of the Inughuit people, exploring the beauty of polar landscapes, the
climate catastrophe and the complex international relationships which
threaten the indigenous communities of Greenland.
