Haunting photos of Inuit life captured by missionaries just years before they were wiped out by influenza have sold for £4,100.<br />
<br />
The pictures reveal how the Inuit people managed to survive in the sub-arctic climate of Labrador, Canada with thick fur clothes.<br />
<br />
Temperatures in the northern parts of the region could get as cold as -15 degrees in winter.<br />
<br />
The Inuits survived in the harsh climate by hunting seals for food and using their skin for clothing.
