This day brought us out to an old whaling station archeological site. We were accompanied by Christian our on board Archeological expert who is a professor at the University of Glasgow. His specialty is Inuit and Paleo Inuit people. This station had remnants of a blubber processing operation. We learned that the Inuit and the Whalers worked together, with the whalers taking most of the process blubber and baline, and the Inuits getting the meat. The Inuits had no idea the value of the whale products in Europe, and probably thought it to be a fair agreement.
The area is a preserved archeologic site with interpretive displays installed by Nunavut territory.
