It would be hard to imagine finding anyone else coming further away to be in Tasmania than Ivalu. Hailing from Greenland, the world's largest island on the far north of the globe with a sparse population of around 55,000, Ivalu talks about the experience of growing up in this remote and unique place.  

Ivalu had already travelled widely before she came to settle in Tasmania several years ago - an exchange year in Panama, study in Denmark and a Masters in Indigenous Studies in Tromso, Norway.  Her study in Norway lead her to meeting the Australian man who would ultimately draw her to Australia. She now lives in Judbury, a small settlement 16 km from Huonville.  

Though Tasmania and Greenland lie on opposite sides of the world and are vastly different in so many ways, they both share a level of remoteness and natural beauty, where the evidence of the power of nature is never too far away.
