As I mentioned earlier the rock formation in the harbour is the town's namesake, Kimmirut means looks like a heel and the rock, well, looks like a heel (sort of). While out doing the cardboard kamotik races I got some nice shots of the formation, and as an added bonus you can see the effect of near-Fundy level tides on sea ice. The tidal range is around 35 feet, and the tide was only halfway out, so the ice cliff gets much higher. It really is amazing to look out the window in the morning and see the sea ice level with the rock, and then look out a few hours later and see a 35 foot ice cliff.
