A dog team carrying hunters and narwhal mattak crosses over a crack in the sea ice on Inglefield Fjord, near Qaanaaq, Greenland, on May 24, 2023. Dog teams are the primary form of transportation in North Greenland, where few snowmobiles exist. This is due to a number of factors, chief among them a desire by hunters to keep from disturbing calving narwhals with noise, as well as the desire to keep the traditional culture of dogsleds alive.
