Photo by @cristinamittermeier. As the northern sun set on the horizon, I watched from a distance as Niihi, a traditional Inuit hunter from the remote village of Qaanaaq, tested the thickness of the sea ice with a long spear. The sundog framed the scene as I reflected on the future of these last northern cultures.
