Whaling


This picture is taken directly from the Barrow Visitor's Guide. I have been looking it up ever since I heard that even the mayor participates in the whaling, still a prime need of sustenance in the northern Alaska area. I was astonished at the huge whale skullbones that were still left on the beach. The high school has a gigantic whale skull proudly displayed outside the school. After all, they are the Whalers.
