An Inuit hunter fires the finishing shot.


An Inuit hunter fires the finishing shot into a previously harpooned Narwhal during a hunting expedition in Northwestern Greenland. Many of the Inuit who live in this polar region still live a subsistence hunting lifestyle and practice ice age old traditions. During the brief summer they hunt Narwhal using only Sea Kayaks and harpoons, a skill fewer than 100 people in the world today still possess.
