An initiation ceremony of the Selknam, where supernatural beings appeared in the snow with their naked bodies painted and masks covering their faces, astonishing women and children, who did not realize that they were representations performed by the Selknam men. Written by anthropologist Anne Chapman, the book is documented with striking photographs that Martin Gusinde, a German anthropologist and priest, took in 1923, just before the Selknams’ extinction.
