Village Visit
When we landed on the rocky shores of Uelen village, the most northeastern town on the continent, we were enthusiastically greeted by a dozen smiling and curious children. In this isolated village a visit to the renowned bone-carving workshop and its impressive collection of intricately carved tusks, oranaments, jewelry is a must. Also of interest is the small museum housed in the regional boarding school, which illustrates the history, lifestyle and marine hunting traditions of the area. Later in the glow of the evening sun, bird photographers lined the beach to capture the thousands of seabirds circling and feeding in the surf.
