A little Tour of Arctic Bay (Part 1)
Sunday, January 20, 2008
Today being Sunday, I thought I would head on out with my camera and start taking some photos so I can take you, my readers, on a little tour of Arctic Bay. I only got about half-way through the town as the winds up here today are ferocious and quite bitting at any exposed skin (-33 and with the windchill it's at least -40). So enjoy part one of the tour, and I will post up part two when the weather warms up a little more so I can get the rest of the pictures needed.

These are great.
Love your new header!
Thank-you! Thought it was time for a little change .... plus I'm getting VERY anxious for the sun's return .... 18 Days to Go!!!
Kennie, just a note that the building you have labeled as Traditional Housing really isn't. It was a building meant to resemble a qarmaq which is traditional housing, and was originally supposed to be a museum/cultural centre I believe. There is an example of a qarmaq farther down the beach below the Hamlet
Ahh-haaa - that's what I though, but the kids were so confident with what they were telling me ... I'll fix that up - thanks Clare!
