The Arctic Circle (Ukiuqtaqtuup) - This imaginary line, marked by a monument along the trail, is at the latitude of 66º 33 ½' North. At any point along the line there are 24 hours of daylight on June 21, and 24 hours of dark on December 21. Taken from (http://www.pc.gc.ca/pn-np/nu/auyuittuq/natcul/natcul5_E.asp)
...the snowmachines could only go so far...the park was without snow---soooo it was slow going; but this also meant that we walked across SLIPPERY ice---I SOOO WISHED I had a pair of those ice walking thing-a-magigers...can't think of the proper name right now....but it was worth the walk!!!
At the Marker---with the flag; in the wind.....crazy times...but so much fun... I NEVER EVER thought I'd STAND here in my lifetime!!!
So what should one do at ARCTIC CIRCLE? well DO A LITTLE DANCE of course....oh yes... I broke out into a dance...and someone happened to have my camera as I did this little jig...and thought it was quite funny!!! (well honestly who would blame them!?)
...at the marker...getting up close and personal!!!
..self-portraits---are a MUST; even if the wind is blowing in your face.. and making it hard to see......but yes---the GONGSHOW hats have made it to the arctic circle.... I should let the company know how warm that hat actually IS... I couldn't wear it after this... my head was sweating TOOO much... switched hats..... but brought it out for a few 'photo' moments!!
....that's me in the circle......... over and out!
