Carsten Egevang

Carsten Egevang combines his background in natural science and twenty-five years of photography field experience to document Greenland, Arctic wildlife, and the connection between humans and animals in the Arctic environment. He took the photo on this month’s cover in Siorapaluk, Greenland’s northernmost settlement, in June 2013. Subsistence hunter Peter Avike, dressed in the traditional costume of kamiks (sealskin boots) and trousers made from polar-bear skin, was playing soccer on Greenland’s National Day.
