Picture of a young Inuit girl filling a teapot with water off the top of Arctic ice

Ice Water

When sea ice ages, the salt sinks into the ocean, leaving fresh, drinkable water on top. In this picture from the September 2019 issue, a young Inuit girl fills a teapot with water to take back to her family's hunting camp in northern Canada.
