Happy to be back in Igloolik when the sun never sleeps

Melanie, Jonathan, Anthony and I are back in Igloolik to spend the week working with student-researchers at Ataguttaaluk Elementary School. It is a beautiful sunny day; perfect for a long walk around the hamlet. Below are some photos from our travels and walk.

An interesting fact: Igloolik is now experiencing 24 hours of daylight because the sun does not set below the horizon! I'll take a photo at midnight and post it tomorrow.
