The inclination of Earth's orbit drifts up and down relative to its present orbit. This three-dimensional movement is known as "precession of the ecliptic" or "planetary precession". Earth's current inclination relative to the invariable plane (the plane that represents the angular momentum of the Solar System, approximately the orbital plane of Jupiter) is 1.57°. Milankovitch did not study planetary precession.

Geology and Ore, 11, 2-12 (pdf 7.4 MB) There was a plan to build a road between Nanortalik and the mine, so workers could live in the town. But the decision and planning process took too long a time, so the company built simple apartment buildings for the workers at the mine. It was less attractive for Greenlanders to live at such a place, so most workers were from other countries. During the spring, many Greenlanders hunt hooded seals among the outer islands, where the pack ice drifts up from the east coast on its way north.
