The ice is nice, and an overcast day is a welcome relief from the heat,
Notice the darkness on the bottom of some of the clouds, that is open water.

Chuckle.. nah.. but I have heard of times by others when it has been done.!!
You can get 'anything' delivered.. .. for the right price, or using a family member or friends or have someone from the crew make a run, every few days. Once your out there, that is where you stay. It is too much effort and expense to travel with much needed equipment (snowmachines / hondas).

The pristene magnificent world of ice, the light - changes things out here, colors, reflecting.
Open water is easy to spot.. .. you got all day / night to look around, or take a walk to go seal hunting !!
After work is finished for the day .. .. work work work.. there is always something for everyone to do.

I have lived with, among the Inupiaq people for 30 years time. I sit at their feet, eyes wide open in amazement as they have told me time and time again, that which I have posted, I am very tired of hearing a white man constantly telling me I am wrong !

I enjoy reading your story very much. It doesn't matter all the much if you are always right on the money or not... there is a lot of excitement and passion in your words. No need to be offended by a comment that is right or aimes to be right. Fact is that beluga wales have the most blubber of all wales. Twice as much or more than other species (15% skeleton, 40% blubber, 15% organs and the rest "meat and such". More in other spiecies. |

The entire focus of this photo essay.. .. The Inupiaq peoples plight to obtain.. .. 'their food' !
To document with photos and text - Their activities out on the ocean ice. Most people have no idea what is involved, brief snapshots of time during the hunt. But to see it all, day by day, weeks of patience living out on that ice ! Working hard, and sometimes in very messy conditions.
The entire lifesyle, revolves around, the Mighty Bowhead Whale.
