There is some breathtaking nature photography on the National Geographic photographer's web site at http://paulnicklen.com

Mr. Nicklen grew up in the north and makes his home in the Yukon. It is very brave and responsible of him to have reported about this reckless hunting by the Inuit.

He describes how he "watched a 13-year-old boy armed with a .30-06 rifle shooting narwhals all day, wounding many but landing none. Elders stood nearby but said nothing."
