Abstract
Fluctuations in the populations of various animal species living in Greenland are known to us. Closer scrutiny of these variations has revealed interesting correlations that arouse curiosity. The climatic influence on living resources, and hence on our Arctic economy, and the way in which nature functions in our part of the world offer an explanation to many questions that must be of interest far beyond our own country. The present article is a brief presentation of the conditions observed, offered in the hope that others have made similar observations. These phenomena cannot be specific to Greenland. They must be Arctic and, as a consequence, part of the global system.
