The Arctic is warming twice as fast at the rest of the world. Locals say that sea ice used to form in September in Clyde River. Now, it doesn’t form until late October, or even November. The warming of the sea in the Arctic, opens up the Northwest Passage for several months a year, meaning that traffic in the area will increase, which effects marine life and Inuit hunting traditions.

The waters surrounding Clyde River are just above freezing. Hunters go out for many hours almost every day during the fall to look for narwhals, polar bears and seals. In the 1970s, commercial seal hunting became illegal in Nunavut. Even though this ban was not directed at the Inuit, it had a huge effect on their lives. As the price of seal skin dropped, their main income from trading disappeared with it, and hunters could no longer afford fuel and ammunition to keep food on the table. (Camilla Andersen/GroundTruth)
