EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Giant of the Arctic: Men and the Jaws of a Bowhead Whale, 1934". In the heart of the early 20th century, the fascination with the natural world and its largest inhabitants was at an all-time high. This photograph, taken in late 1934, documents a significant moment in the exploration of the Arctic's enigmatic denizens: the bowhead whale. The image shows a group of men, dressed in heavy winter gear, standing in awe before the massive jaws of a bowhead whale. The jaws, as large as they are imposing, are suspended in the air, about to be hoisted into their final resting place in the newly constructed Whale Hall. This remarkable structure, which still stands today, is a testament to the enduring allure of these ancient creatures and the human desire to understand them. Bowhead whales, scientifically known as Balaena mysticetus, are baleen whales belonging to the family Balaenidae. They are characterized by their distinctive baleen plates, which they use to filter krill and other small organisms from the water. Bowheads are the only true Arctic whale, and they have been a vital part of the Inuit culture for centuries. The bowhead whale in this photograph is an impressive specimen, its jaws measuring over 13 feet long. The men in the image, with their determination and respect for the animal, embody the spirit of exploration and discovery that characterized the era. This photograph, a relic from the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the past, when the world was still full of mysteries waiting to be unraveled. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our natural heritage and the awe-inspiring creatures that inhabit our planet.
