Arctic char caught in a glacial lake near Cap Hope village, Greenland. The steel pikes on poles are used to chop holes in the ice. (Emil Madsen is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) After a day of dogsled travel, seal hunter Emil Madsen, his wife Erika, and the children head out to fish for arctic char. After chopping holes in the ice with a pike, family members lower down hooks baited with seal fat. When the char bite, Erika yanks them out of the hole with a practiced motion.
