In the middle of October we left Ittoqqortoormit for a few days to go musk ox hunting in Jameson Land.

The trip took us three days. Day one was used to find and hunt the animals. The second day went with carrying the meat down to shore, and on the last day we returned to Ittoqqortoormiit by boat as soon as the rising tide made it possible to leave the little inlet we`d camped at.

Walking towards the hills behind the inlet where we`ve spotted a small group of musk-ox

A satisfied hunter and a great view

Slaughtering begins

The first fox is showing up

The stove – our best friend

Cutting up the meat early next morning

Carrying meat down to shore …

… all day long

Foxes having a feast …

… and stocking up on their winter storages

The boat at it`s “parking lot”

On the way home
