TIQRIGANIANNIG

I have been trying to find the Greenlandic Inuit words used for the animals I saw on last summers kayak trip to East Greenland.  The word Tiqiganiannig is what I get from Professor Google for the Arctic Fox. If anyone can confirm this I would appreciate it. This Arctic Fox was enjoying the sunlight with a blue sea behind on a wonderful summer day in East Greenland.

Rockbread..that’s why!

Rockbread..that's why!

The sly guy from yesterdays post spent hours circling and eyeing the cook tent and then with a smooth precision strike makes off with a slice of rockbread, dubbed so by our kayaking group as it was an almost indestructible, albeit edible, loaf of bread that we had plenty of on our voyages in greenland. I am sure it was a great addition to this foxes diet as every morsel will help in surviving the upcoming winter.
