This is a seal that was harvested. I wonder what Paul McCartney thinks of this image?
This is a walrus head. The tusks will be used for carvings. Our friend Maren witnessed the harvesting of a walrus on the weekend and they even let her skin it with them. The approximate size of a wlarus is two pools tables stacked end to end.
Some of you may recall the polar bear warning we told you about....her it is. This guy didn't know that coming into to town was going to be his last footsteps. The value of the hide is about $5000 and each claw can be carved and worth around $100.
Here is another seal that was harvested. I had the chance to buy some sealskin mitts that look exactly like this guy....they are very warm!

Hi Jamie and Laura,
Enjoyed reading your blog. I found the link on Norm's blog. Kind of ironic that you are so far north and we are so far south. There will likely be days where we'll want to trade places. Although I don't think I'll want to trade any time in December through March. Take care
