I've never heard of this

Cool!

I mean, whoa! Looks 3D!

It amazes me they go under that!

Wow.

wow!

that was interesting - but scary to think they risks their lives for a few mussels - because obviously they can't carry too many in the pots

they take with them or they get weighed down and wouldn't be able to escape -

Elysabeth42: It's very scary and sad they have to resort to that for food

suncatcher - where does this occur because it seems it takes them almost 30 minutes to break through the ice as thick as it is - I watched

a couple of times trying to figure out where this was located but it doesn't really say - I want to say Alaska but it could be anywhere near

the Artic Circle or even Antiartica - just wondering -

The page on youtube says..... people of Kangiqsujuaq in Canada

ahhhh - thanks for that sleuth work - I hadn't gone all the way to YouTube to check it out - lol

what they are doing
