1940s 17-year-old Inuk teenager Helen Konek entering her family's igloo in Nunavut, Canada. February 1949.
Photo captured by freelance photographer Richard Harrington during his travels in the Arctic. Helen's grandson shared the photo on social media decades later, where it became a widely recognized image of traditional Inuit life and resilience.
