Jason Palluq of Igloolik cuts up a young polar bear shot in Igloolik earlier this month, while Richard Amarualik watches. “I woke up when I heard my father shouting ‘Nanualuk!’” through a window” said Jenna Amarualik, who took this picture. The cub, which became aggressive, had been prowling around in the middle of the night, stealing frozen seal meat. (PHOTO BY JENNA AMARUALIK)
