Welcome to Cambridge Bay, where the ice is beautifully frozen over. The daylight is much shorter now that winter has settled in for a few more months.
The sun has been amazing to look at with rainbow sundogs shining in the cold ice crystals and ice fog shining like diamonds on the land and ice.
Every day and on weekends you can watch the fishers and hunters heading out on the land and sea, returning when it is getting dark.
When I walk and watch snowmobiles coming home in the dark, it brings back memories of my late father and relatives bringing home their harvest of fresh caribou. Years ago we used to watch herds of caribou crossing from the airport by the DEW Line heading towards Ovayok. It does not happen anymore and the decrease in caribou population makes us sad. Nowadays you have to go to where they migrate, like Pangnirtuuk, Surrey River, Ferguson Lake and mainland and other spots.
