Very strange tent shape, I've never seen anything like that before! They were probably very effective in high wind?
National Museum of Denmark said:
Swordscookie: Our senior researcher Martin Appelt says "This type of tent was standard in East Greenland, at least from the early 19th century AD. I am not sure about the wind stability, but I would imagine that it would have been quite suitable for handling some of the strongest winds in the World, which has always part of life especially in this part of Greenland. There are at least two benefits to this particular construction, i.e. that it demands a minimum of wood for the frame (two poles and a cross piece), and it is very easily erected." :-)

This is a brilliant shot of a time and a place! Those kayaks with the self righting animal skins are fantastic.
