Islam at the Edge of the Arctic | Faith and Isolation in Greenland

Islam at the Edge of the Arctic | Faith and Isolation in Greenland examines how a global religion exists in one of the most remote and extreme environments on Earth. Greenland, the world’s largest island located in the Arctic, has a small population shaped primarily by Inuit heritage and Lutheran Christianity. Within this social and geographic context, Islam is present only in a minimal and largely invisible form.

This documentary explores what it means to practice Islam in Greenland, where there are no mosques, no organized Muslim communities, and no formal religious infrastructure. The video focuses on the practical realities of religious life in a polar environment, including the challenges of observing daily prayers and fasting during periods of continuous daylight or darkness. Rather than presenting Islam as a growing or visible social force, this film examines faith as an individual and private experience shaped by isolation and extreme geography.

By comparing Greenland with other Arctic regions where Muslim communities are more established, the documentary highlights how unique Greenland’s situation truly is. It offers a factual and serious analysis of religious adaptation, minority identity, and personal commitment in conditions far removed from the centers of the Muslim world. This film is intended for a global adult audience interested in religion, human resilience, and life at the geographic edges of civilization.
