Comparison

Pictured: the plane I flew from Ottawa to Iqaluit on and the plane I flew from Iqaluit to Kimmirut on. See if you can spot the difference.

Weathered In

Yesterday my flight to Kimmirut was scheduled for 9:15. When I arrived, at 8:15, they told me it was delayed until 11:30 due to weather. At 10:30 it was delayed until 12:30. At 12:00 it was delayed until 3:30. At 3:10 it was cancelled. The pictures show why.

It was all good though, they had coffee and I had some interesting conversations. And, today I made it.

Walking on the Arctic Ocean in Iqaluit

'nuff said

Second Leg

I said farewell to Trevor and Scott today, and now my solo journey really begins. I am truly excited. Also, while waiting for the taxi I quickly snapped these pictures. Every view here could be a postcard...

Coffee and a View

This morning I walked into the kitchen/living room area of the B&B and I could see clear across Frobisher Bay. I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Iqaluit

I'm still in Canada. But I'm not in one of the provinces. How weird is that? I keep realizing, and saying to myself "I'm in the Arctic."

Anywho, Trevor, Scott and I decided to see the sites and tromp around town, which was thoroughly enjoyable. The highlight was definitely dinner. Musk ox and Caribou Calzones. Delicious.

2001

Like the monolith, it is nothing but an inanimate object. Still, it looks at me and into me, filling me with great fear, and at the same time great promise. We're close now.
