A front loader washes a bowhead whale, harvested legally by whalers during their annual subsistence hunt, in the Inupiat village of Kaktovik, Alaska, USA, 09 September 2017. The hunt is deemed vital for the community, providing thousands of pounds of food as well as a direct link to the Inupiat's cultural identity. As climate change diminishes their natural habitat, polar bears are turning Kaktovik into their very own sanctuary city. (Photo by Jim Lo Scalzo/EPA/EFE)
