It's the bowhead.

Yes, exactly.

It's the bowhead whale.

And it has this sort of sifting system in its mouth.

So it swallows up a lot of water and then all the food is sort of sifted and stay inside the mouth while all the water is being sifted out.

And baleen could be used for, because they come in these sort of strings and you can sort of pull them apart and then you can make fishing lines that goes hundreds and hundreds of meters into the sea ice.

But you can also carve it out.

The hard bit can also be carved out.

Not me, but some of my colleagues have.

And you can see it exhibited at the National Museum of Denmark.

And it looks amazing.

It does.

But I have been with modern lines.

I have been ice fishing with my father in Greenland.

So

sort of going in their steps.

It is, it is.

It is called Umbanna and there are several places in Greenland called Umbanna because oftentimes you named places after what they look like.

So you can recognize it's in the landscapes

Or the name could implement what function, like is it a natural harbor or something like that?
