We take a trip in the Kayaks to fish before the water begins to freeze over - as the temperature drops in the coming weeks the ice sheet spreads. A Common seal takes a rest on a sand bank, pleased with his fill of herring. The Common seal is critically endangered, and is now rarely seen and caught in most parts of Greenland even though its skin has traditionally been used as part of the female national costume.
