Here's a cool shot of the whole of Arctic Bay---sorry it's soooo tiny... (I think if you click on it will open up bigger?!) I took it just before the Taxi came to take me to the Airport...
The ride to the airport...was pretty crazy!... the roads were pretty icey--and there were about 2 or 3 times I thought we were for sure SLIDING into the ditch!!! (we managed to come out of a 'fish' tale once...) The road really was safe for 'one' car--but a few times we passed other vehicles! Here's a shot of the truck--we were both moving--so it's a tad blurred! We also passed a water or fuel truck--for that one we STOPPED and waited at the side of the road for it to pass us!
While I was checking in at the airport... all of a sudden this 'little' door opened.. and the airport staff took the baggage out to the fork lift! So I snapped this photo--have to play tourist once and awhile!
The next two shots are shots from the air.... it was soooooooo pretty the first hours of my flight.. the sun was setting (on the other side of the plane) and casting awesome colour onto the snow below-- the photos didn't quite capture that the way I will always remember it!
Hope you all have a great night... I am safe and sound in Iqaluit (one more step closer to getting back home!)
