Change Comes to the Arctic: A Photographic Journey

Resolute Bay Hunting remains an important part of life for Inuit. A couple of days before coming across this scene, I had the magical experience of watching white beluga whales playing in shallow water alongside my Zodiac boat. It was a shock for a southerner used to going to the supermarket to encounter them again on the beach with the tastiest part of the meat already stripped from their bodies by hunters. As the ice melts, this critical source of “country food” will disappear for Arctic residents.
