Newbie in the Arctic

Flying back north on Sunday... had a bit of a delay landing at the Iqaluit Airport... about 11am a private charter ended up sliding off the runway--and going through the fence at the far side of the runway.... So this meant my plane that was about 15mins ahead of schedule had to 'circle' and wait for the runway to be given the 'all-clear'.... circle we did... (I have on occasion been known to get motion sickness--thankfully that didn't happen today!)  I got some amazing photos.... the one below is of Iqaluit.... the airport on the left....

I think this photo will be blown up and on my wall someday in my house..... I love how you can see the ice that has been forming... the wind blowing snow across the land... and how there's nothing for miles to see... Nunavut really is a gorgeous place...and I've been so blessed to be able to call it 'home'!

Walking home for lunch today.. the sun was just hitting the Mountains.... the Pang Pass... I'm lucky to have this my 'living room' view....

Looking out towards the Sound...and downtown Pang... the Ice has formed in the 2 1/2 weeks I was away from Pang.... the Sun has been rising around 9ish... and setting to darkness by 2ish... and for the most part we just get to enjoy gorgeous colours in the sky until the darkness comes.....
