• Ulukhaktok, Nunavut, Arctic Canada.

The remainder of our journey (6 nights) will take us through more open waters along Alaska’s Northern coast, traversing the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas, Bering Strait and Sea, culminating in our disembarkation in Nome, Alaska.

We arrived close to Ulukhaktok early this morning.

Cabins litter the shore, each with their unique color and flavor. It looked pretty desolate early today as the mist was low and thick. In the afternoon there was a hint of sun and things perked up a bit. Mebbies its glorious in full sun..

Some hardy golfers are off to the golf course. However, the locals have warned that they have no balls; the crew have offered to provide wee rocks – inventive as ever.

The Anglican and Catholic Churches were in great disrepair – shame on Canterbury and The Vatican for not supplying monies to these communities to rebuild their houses of worship.

Interesting road name was observed….can think of a few people who should live on that road…

A short climb up a hill rendered views of the town and graveyard as well as a lovely, sandy windswept bay.
