Greenland's White Gold: Cryolite made into supermans Kryptonite?...
... The Danish Empire took, what basically belonged to Mother GAIA and 89% Greenlandic Inuits, of the natural uncommon mineral, called 'Cryolite' (Sodium, aluminum and fluoride). We all know what 'Aluminum or Aluminium fluoride' can results in respiratory and neurological problems in all living beings ...
... It was once used in the production of aluminum manufacturing of fighter planes during WW II and other industries. In 1982, (closure 1987) environmental studies showed that Arsuk Fjord was contaminated with lead and zinc. The dominant source of pollution is discarded low-grade cryolite ...

The Ivittuut mine in Greenland is renowned for being one of the world's few sources of naturally occurring cryolite (Na3AlF6), a rare mineral crucial in aluminum production. Historically, this mine was the largest supplier of cryolite, significantly contributing to the manufacturing of fighter planes during World War II.
The unique properties of cryolite, often referred to as "the ice that never melts," have made it an enigma among minerals. Despite its historical significance, the Ivittuut mine has been largely abandoned, with modern production of cryolite now relying on artificial methods.
However, recent interest in the site has emerged, with companies like Eclipse Metals looking to revive mining activities. The potential for untapped rare earth resources in the region adds to its allure, drawing attention from global powers seeking to secure mineral resources. As environmental concerns grow, the legacy of the Ivittuut mine serves as a reminder of the balance between resource extraction and ecological preservation in Greenland... |
