When Tété-Michel Kpomassie discovered a book about Greenland, he was fascinated! This faraway land in the Arctic, with its giant icebergs and snowy landscapes, became his dream destination.
He was born in Togo, where the weather is very different from Greenland. But nothing stopped him! He began a long journey that lasted eight years.
In 1965, at the age of 24, he finally arrived in Greenland. He discovered the icy landscapes and met the Inuit people, who live in this Arctic region. He learned about their way of life and traditions.
Later, he shared his adventure in a famous book called An African in Greenland, published in 1981.
