Inukshuk outside the Gallery of the Midnight Sun
About:
Inukshuks have many uses. Large ones without arms were built on top of hills or promontories to indicate the territory of a family group. A single Inukshuk or two close together on the banks of a river would indicate a fording place. On the barren lands where the terrain is repetitive in appearance, they were used to guide travelers. Even in more rugged country they were used as signposts on long land crossings by a people who rarely ventured far from the sea. Some had only one arm pointing towards the correct valley or pass to use. Others had a peephole in the center. Travelers looking through the hole towards the far horizon would see tiny dots of another Inukshuk. They were also built along the coastline for navigation by travelers on the sea.
Hunting The Aurora Borealis 2017:
Sometimes you have to jolt yourself out of your comfort zone and aim for your bucket list. That's exactly what I did in March... I packed my warm clothes, gathered some friends and went to hunt the Aurora Borealis. There were no guarantees, but as luck would have it, we saw the dancing lights while doing a little dance ourselves in -29 degrees. I now find myself missing those moments, with icicles on my nose and eyelashes, my hands frozen as I removed my gloves to snap photos of the elusive and magical northern lights. The people we met in Yellowknife were kind and love their NW Territories. I find this journey to the top of the world, in my top ten best adventures ever.
Bundle up, its chilly outside...
