Photograph by @paulnicklen for @natgeo while on assignment in Qaanaaq, Greenland. A lone hunter travels along the coast of Northwest Greenland by dog team in front of a glacier. The hunters told us about their changing environment where the sea ice is getting thinner and glaciers like this one are retreating. You can see the physical scars on the mountainside behind the glacier showing how thick it used to be. They have no control over this changing environment and you can see the concern in their eyes as they talk about an uncertain future. Please follow me on @paulnicklen to see more of my favorite images from this expedition.
