The time I spent in Kivalina was an eye-opening experience. Even if only few people live here, getting to know their life made me realize how imminent are the changes that our planet and our species are going through. Now it’s time to head South. #kivalina #ephemera #alaska #aerial #travel #documentary

Repi comes from a family of hunters. He explained to me that because of climate change they’re having a hard time storing enough meat to get through winter. An average family needs around 15 seals. This year he got only 5 and he was one of the luckiest one in Kivalina. #kivalina #ephemera #portrait #travel #documentary

When the fishing is successful is up to women to take care of the catch. Here salmon is prepared to be smoked after being marinated in brown sugar and spices. The final result will serve as food during the following winter. #kivalina #ephemera #alaska #fishing #travel #documentary

People from Kivalina base their subsistence on hunting and fishing. Men go out in the ocean or up the river to get mostly fish, seals, ducks, moose, caribou. These activities are becoming more difficult and more dangerous because of climate change. #kivalina #ephemera #alaska #portrait #boat #travel #documentary

During summer vacations, when the sky basically never gets dark, is really safe for kids from Kivalina to spend time outside until late at night. They also have videogames and smartphones, but it seems that they still prefer an old school ride on their bikes. #kivalina #ephemera #alaska #portrait #kids #travel #documentary

I arrived in Kivalina, Alaska. I wanted to come here because for this small Inupiat community climate change is not only a future threat. It’s happening today! #kivalina #ephemera #alaska #ephemera #aerial #travel #documentary

I’m now flying to Kivalina, a tiny and isolated village that lies on a fragile barrier island in Alaska, along the Chukchi Sea, 130 km above the Arctic circle. #kivalina #ephemera #alaska #cessnacaravan #aerialphotography #travel #documentary
