I have always dreamt of a perfect photograph of the musk oxen. As I don’t think there is such a thing as a perfect picture, this might be close of what I imagined. It is not common for the musk ox to fight like this in the winter. Usually they will just head butt to show who is the leader. But this was deadly serious. Definitely worth the 4 hours hike with heavy backpack, snow shoes and minus 16 degress celsius.
