Whale Bone

It looked like a rock but it's actually a large whale bone.  Could easily be from the 18th century.

An Icy Amphitheater

This iceberg from our trip looked like an amphitheater.

Mastodon Flower

It is the tallest flower in Nunavut and can be found around wet marshy areas.  It is the most common annual plant species found in the eastern arctic.

A cluster of pretty yellow flower heads and broad leaves.

Duck Waddle

During our tour we came upon a pond that was low on water and in the drying mud we seen the print of some ducks.  Look close and you will see the little tracks left by the baby ducks.

Scary Boat

We had two boats out on our trip due to the number of people going.  During the snapping of a photo of our companion boat I didn't notice the lens had fogged up.

  Turned out to be an interesting surreal photo.

An Icy Pareidolia

The family went out for a day of boating and exploring with Huit Huit Tours on Saturday.  We went and seen the Thule sites as well as went looking at icebergs.  Over the next few days I will be posting some shots from the sites and the icebergs we saw.  The most interesting iceberg encountered was the one below.

Do you see it?

I love pareidolia.

Just a Day

I was out driving my ATV today checking out the sea lift being delivered when I saw some folks heading out on the land.



They almost lost the white tot into the water.

It sure would be nice to have a proper wharf here.



Happy Couple

Holiday Time

We are holidaying in the south.  Just staying in southern New Brunswick this trip and running around on the ATV trails.  Hope to have some photos up soon.

Feel the Inukness

Great video on You tube.  Love it.  Try to name all the places in Iqaluit.  The video was made by Becky Qilavvaq and stars Anguti Johnston.
