Photo: Demo in Nuuk to keep uranium mining banned

Demonstrators wearing white protective suits and waving placards against uranium mining (“No to radioactive tailings”) were on hand when members of Greenland’s government left to walk Sept. 13 from the Hans Egede house in old Nuuk to the cathedral in Nuuk as a start to the legislature’s autumn session. Among the issues up for debate: the lifting of the zero-tolerance position on mining uranium as a by-product of mineral extraction. (PHOTO BY LEIFF JOSEFSEN/SERMITSIAQ)
