RM2ME1E7J–Coast Guard's Dog Team Trip on Baffin Island. When word got around that the Coast Guard Icebreaker Eastwind was departing the Cape Christian area, 16 dog teams, sledges and Eskimos of all ages were on hand to bid the ship farewell. This impressive fellow, resplendent in his caribou skin clothes, is one of them. He is more than 80 years old, and is said to be one of the oldest Eskimos living. To him, the trip across the ice was just a lark. If you look closely, you can see the reflection of the Coast Guard photographer in his sun glasses.

The Eskimos seem to enjoy the juicy ham steaks served to them aboard the Icebreaker Eastwind, although the knives and forks present a temporary problem. Looking directly at the camera is the local leader, who speaks only in his native tongue. Lack of language was no barrier once a system of sign language and arm-waving was established between the Eskimos and the Coast Guard crew. Wedding rings worn by the men in the photograph are of metal, and are supplied by various missionaries from time to time.
