The "greatest polar bear hunter of Greenland", Hjelmer Hammeken, 66 years old, rides his dogs sled near polar bear foot prints (R), on melting ice, on the way to the ice edge, outside Ittoqqortoormiit on the frozen Scoresbysund Fjord on April 26, 2024. The village of Ittoqqortoormitt, with its colorful houses and 350 inhabitants, is located near the Strait of Scoresby, the world's largest fjord on the east coast of Greenland, on the edge of the Arctic. All the men are hunters - bears if they're professionals, seals, narwhals or musk oxen if they're amateurs. It's an ancestral way of life handed down from generation to generation.
But over the past twenty years, climate change and quotas have gradually jeopardized a tradition that ensures the survival of Inuit families. (Photo by Olivier MORIN / AFP)
