Figures & data
Figure 1. The Calm Before the Storm. © Dennis Davis, all rights reserved. “This is a winter snow storm. All the water that’s there on the ocean, it is supposed to be frozen, but it’s not and you have a big storm coming. This is beautiful, but it is also dangerous. This was in October – right at the beginning of the storm season; if the ocean is frozen, then the waves can’t cut into the permafrost and cause erosion and flooding. If the water is not frozen, then it is dangerous.”

You boil the cut pieces and you eat them – the leftover meat that’s on them. You can see the bigger portions are in the background.”
