Cape Dorset, Nunavut

This was a life altering day for for me.

Kelly came home for lunch and I decided I'd open up the windows to let some fresh air and sunlight in. Pulled the blinds up and this is what I see out my kitchen window. Two women & a man eating a seal...raw. Ripping pieces of flesh off, bagging some and licking the rest off their fingers...blood and all. I couldn't believe it...I didn't eat for days.

Different world up there...so very different!

Kelly had an opportunity to go on a Coast Guard helicopter, which also took him to its ice breaker ship and he had lunch with the captain.

There was a little snow up north....

Well, beluga whales and polar bears didn't last so long in town....that's what happened to the beluga that turned up in the waters out front of our house! Horrific thing to watch actually.
