Dogs react as their owner ,Kunuk Abelsen, a 27-years-old Greenlandic musher arrives to the island where they are kept near Kulusuk (also spelled Qulusuk), a settlement in the Sermersooq municipality located on the island of the same name on the southeastern shore of Greenland on August 19, 2019. – Tethered between pastel-coloured wooden houses in the Greenlandic village of Kulusuk and on hills nearby, the island’s famous sled dogs wait through the summer for the ice to form so their hunting season can begin.
