Grateful for the fish that provided food, the people of the Coronation Gulf always thanked their catch with a kiss. A surveyor, working with his camera in Port Epworth, Nunavut, where Tree River flows into the Coronation Gulf, captured this endearing kiss, thanking the Great Arctic Char for his sacrifice. The photo was featured in many publications worldwide, representing the people of Canada's northernmost communities for decades.
