No, this is not the Metallica song (which I used to like, God knows why), but some lovely footage rw langford sent me:

Amazing. Just amazing. How people manage to eke out an existence in a climate that is so inhospitable.

Yes, I thought "Oh, they're doing some amazing scientific research" or "Wow, it's some new daring sport, like hang-gliding, rock-climing, or crossing the North Pole in a wooden shoe." But, no, this is just fetching dinner! (Which makes me glad we have a farmer's market just down the road....)

I thought they were going to get trapped under the ice...
Looks like they know what they're doing.
I wonder how long ago the first gatherer under the sea ice was - 20 years, or 20,000 years ago? All you need is a few spears to break the ice and some rope to climb back up. People have been pretty clever for a long, long time.

The Inuit people arrived in this area from the Chukchi Sea, displacing the Dorset people. Inuit oral history says that the Dorset were very strong, and formidable warriors.
If this is how they're getting their snacks, I GET IT!!

Those mussels are extremely healthy. I can imagine them risking their lives for those. Eat them raw, full of good fats, vitamins and minerals.
Bloody hell, now I'm hungry. I'm going to get under my kitchen roof and get those crackers with peanut butter out before the tide comes in.
