The small East Greenlandic town of Ittoqqortoormiit, with its 300 inhabitants, has become the center of a major political discussion. The American company, Greenland Energy Company, plans to launch a series of oil drilling operations in the town's hinterland, only 50 kilometers away. But several members of the local population are opposed to the project—especially after the oil company's director, Robert Price, made an unannounced visit in June, according to DR's journalist in Greenland, Karoline Engelund.
