As the climate warms and winter gets shorter in the polar regions, many of the human residents are forced to quickly adapt. In Greenland, hunting and travelling by dog sled has been a way of life for many generations. With the winters getting shorted and sea ice less and less stable every year, Greenlanders are being forced to kill more and more of their prized dogs. The price of feeding these packs of working dogs is considerable. The opportunity to offset those costs with a successful hunt and the food provided are diminishing rapidly year to year. This image of dogs standing in a Fall rain storm on an unseasonably warm day represented that shift to me.
