I don't know if this pic will show up as good, but here a pic of these fisherman dragging the whale in. They actually catch the whale about 3 miles off on the frozen tundra and then drag it back to the beach. (The sky looks dark in this pic but I had to adjust my camera because it is so bright and sunny out.) The men set up camps out on the ice and do not come back until they catch a whale. I have heard more woman complaining that their husbands/boyfriends have "gone whaling." I have not been able to see out 2-3 miles yet to see these camps because it has not been a clear enough yet, but this weekend it is supposed to be clear so I will check it out again. I was mountain biking on the frozen tundra until I got a flat tire, so now I will be hiking around, but I plan on getting some more great pics this weekend.
Plans for the weekend:
Saturday: Tundra Tour in the morning and then I am going to watch native Eskimo dancers in the afternoon
Sunday: Snow shoeing to the point (northern most tip).......don't worry, I am totally breaking out the leg guitar dance again with snow shoes on.
