  • On Green Island, a former prison island off the coast of SE Taiwan where political prisoners were incarcerated and re-educated during the unnervingly recent White Terror. There's actually still a high-security prison on the island, but it only holds 200 inmates (actual felons, not polital prisoners), as opposed to the couple thousand of earlier decades..Now it's mostly a tourist destination. We visited in the off season in March, thereby avoiding the 5,000-10,000 tourists that inundate the little place daily, though, being the off season, we had to contend instead with intermittent cold rain and high winds.

  • (MODEL RELEASED IMAGE). Emil and Erika Madsen's nephew Julian bites down on an Arctic char, half in jest, for the camera because the fish is large, but locals say that children often eat small fish raw. It's said to "tickle their bellies." After chopping holes in the ice with a pike, family members lower down hooks baited with seal fat. When the char bite, they yank them out of the hole with a practiced motion. (From a photographic gallery of fish images, in Hungry Planet: What the World Eats, p. 204).
