Even the Inuit experience snow blindness.
It is like a sunburn of your eyes caused by too much exposure to too much ultraviolet light.
Solution?
Wear sunglasses that block UV light.
Or, carve a pair of caribou antler glasses with only a horizontal slit to see through.
EYE CANDY’S INGENIOUS DESIGN significantly reduces the exposure of the eye to UV rays.
I love these carvings of "artifacts" of Inuit life.
They tell a story about how these innovative people have managed to live for thousands of years in an environment that would kill the average person in a few hours.
Amazing!
