With Greenland in the news, Cork doctor Geraldine Osborne’s recently published account of the year she, her husband and their three small children spent living in the Arctic is timely.  

Dining on seal and walrus meat in temperatures as low as –40, travelling by dog sled and sewing clothes from animal skins in the traditional Inuit way is not standard fare for a doctor on a sabbatical, but it makes a fascinating story.  

With insights into the Inuit way of life in Canada and Greenland, and the impact of climate change, this is a unique look at a world that has all but vanished with the melting polar ice. 

Dr Geraldine Osborne, author of Somewhere Cold, is the guest on today’s episode of the Deirdre O’Shaughnessy Podcast.
