In the wee hours of June 10, there was a solar eclipse. Normally the sun wouldn’t be visible in the middle of the night, but we’re in our 24-hour daylight period, so we got up at 4am to go to the viewing party.

Inuvialuit Day
Written by: Faye
June 5 was Inuvialuit Day. We got to eat goose, caribou stew, eskimo doughnuts, dry fish, and muktuk (beluga whale).
Spring in Inuvik
Written by: Faye
It’s been a busy few months, and I have fallen behind on blogging. Here’s a quick update:
• In March-April, I went on a polar bear survey up on the Arctic Ocean.
• I also went out on some surveys looking for caribou and muskox.
• The Ski Club ran the Top of the World Loppet this year – a ski event that has been running for over 50 years in Inuvik.
• I did a bike ride to Aklavik along the 120 km ice road (although I didn’t make it the whole way – the road was very slushy).
• I went up to Tuktoyaktuk for some skiing, kiteskiing, and a beachside photo shoot.
• Eventually winter ended, but it was still snowing in June.
