V is for Iceberg?

Kind of looks like the face from V is for Vendetta.

What is the iceberg looking at? Another example of pareidolia.

See more examples here and here.

Seal of Approval

At various times during our adventure we would see the lone seal checking us out.  They didn't come very close but we weren't looking for lunch anyway.  They were very curious.

Not the best photo but with my long zoom lens broken this is as good as it gets.

More Icecubes

Even though the lighting was horrible for most of the day I still took over 600 photos of iceburgs while out on the boat.  So get used to seeing a few photos of them on the blog this month. 

Whale Bone

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

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.
