Returning home from The Hunt . . .

It looked to be about five to seven seals laying in the bottom of the boat of these Inupiaq hunters. Seal is a delicacy to the Alaska natives who live along the coastal areas. They are used for the meat, the oil, and fur for mittens and hats and other articles of clothing. They not only look pretty, but they help protect the wear from the intense cold of Northern Alaska which can drop down to -80 in the winter. However; last year it was pretty warm, we only made it down to thirty degrees below zero . . . ha ha ha
