A blubber-fired snow melter yielded extra water in winter.
The people met their vitamin requirements by eating raw animal products, such as muktuk (whale skin and blubber), meat and fish.

The special blubber-fired boilers had disappeared, apparently thrown overboard.
They thought the whale had washed ashore recently, and were hot on the trail of a governmental blubber flub-up.
Thick blubber deposits provide insulation, as well, and blood vessels in the flippers and legs have evolved intricate structures to preserve heat.
The skin has to be regrown by blood vessels reaching through the blubber.
The purpose of whaling was largely to collect blubber.
