IQALUIT - Hollywood actors Selma Hayek and Jake Gyllenhaal joined hundreds of Canada's Inuit for a group photo-shoot in Iqaluit to protest against global warming.

Sheila Watt-Cloutier, president of the Inuit Circumpolar Conference, an international Inuit group, said the number one threat to her culture is climate change.

"Most times I have to go out to far away places of the world to send this message. This message is coming home for us," she said.

A recently released document claims that climate change is occurring two to three times faster in the Arctic than in other parts of the world and that the arctic ice cap could melt away within a century.
