WINNER: Sarah Ikinilik

This is David Tookoome, 12, with a ptarmigan he caught when we found out his grandmother was craving for it. The next day he caught another one and he brought them over to her ... she got very happy. He caught these with just rocks on the airport road. May 30, 2019.

This polar bear came to us while we were on coffee break, it was so foggy so it came pretty close to us, but we managed to follow it for a while so we could take a pic of it at sunrise.
