The Wider Image: Inuit pride stirs independence mood in Greenland

A view shows a cryolite stone, a rare mineral from Greenland that is at the center of controversy over its use by Denmark, in Nuuk, Greenland, February 11, 2025. A documentary released in February alleged that the Danish state and companies profited from a large cryolite mine in Greenland between 1853 and 1987 without benefiting locals. Cryolite is a rare mineral used in aluminium production and the mine was the world’s largest for the mineral. REUTERS/Sarah Meyssonnier
