Inuit Tribesman and His Wife
Robert E. Peary, his wife, Josephine, and an explorer named Frederick A. Cook traveled to Greenland in the 1890s to get to know the tribe dubbed the Arctic Highlanders. They were a friendly folk and allowed Peary to take photos of their people. One of those photos captured this moment where an Inuit tribesman was helping to warm his wife’s feet. Images like this one documented how the locals found ways to deal with the horrible cold weather in the area.
