Greenland
GRE04.0897.xf1brw(MODEL RELEASED IMAGE). Taking special care about cracks in the ice, Emil Madsen selects the best spot for some on-shore seal hunting. In the spring this can be dangerous because the ice is breaking up and sometimes huge pieces break off and move out to sea. He is carrying a rifle and home-made wooden gun support. Giant iceberg in background in the open water beyond the sea ice edge.(Supporting image from the project Hungry Planet: What the World Eats.) /// The Madsen family of Cap Hope village, Greenland is one of the thirty families featured, with a weeks’ worth of food, in the book Hungry Planet: What the World Eats. The family consists of Emil Madsen, 40, his wife Erika, 26, and their children Abraham, 12, Martin, 9, and Belissa, 6. (Please refer to Hungry Planet book p. 144-145 for a family portrait [Image number GRE04.0001.xxf1rw] including a weeks’ worth of food, and the family’s detailed food list with total cost.)
