Greenland, 2006 Photograph by David McLain Frost-flecked and
sun-chapped, a hunter braves the cold in Kangerlussuaq, an inlet in
western Greenland's Davis Strait.

Besides hampering the living of hunters there, thinning sea ice along
Greenland's fringes is threatening to capsize an entire ecosystem
dependent on the iceincluding seals, walruses, and polar bears.

(Photo shot on assignment for, but not published in, "Last Days of the
Ice Hunter," January 2006, National Geographic magazine)    RELATED
