24 hour SUN....

...makes it REALLY hard to sleep... I'm not sure if it was the NEW bed...or the fact that the sun was coming through the curtains...I had a really hard time sleeping.... FINALLY i put on my hoodie, pulled the hood over my eyes... .curled up and looked at the corner in the room... (that 'seemed' to work... and finally around 1am I was asleep!!

After I was done meeting the people I had to meet... Vera and I went up on the hill--it was FREEZING!!! and still blows my mind that it was 9:20PM!!!

Enjoy the photos... tomorow I fly back to Iqaluit!!! :)

Life on the road....

I arrived in Igloolik today just before 5pm... through the whole flight from Iqaluit--I wasn't sure if we were going to land...I might have gone on to Pond Inlet...BUT all that worry was for nothing...we landed ok... (silly airlines that decide to freak you out!--but really it's just so that if they don't land in a place due to weather---then they aren't responsible for meals or lodging or transport at the location you end up at..which I suppose is a fair policy to have!)

Once I arrived I called Vera (who works with me in Pang--but also was on work travel and in Igloolik) So we went for a walk around town...I was able to figure out where I had to be the next day....and have some good conversation!

Here's Vera and her son...isn't he adorable!!!

Yup... there is speed limits in Igloolik... AND also a lot of snow!!! Some cars aren't used in the winter...and are 'parked'...

...just a shot from the hill of some of the houses... Igloolik is really flat!

...This is just a building that was in Igloolik...I think that at some point that aliens 'might' have made contact...
