For work this past week, I went to Paulatuk, a high Arctic community of about 300 Inuvialuit people. Here are a few pictures of the trip.
Sunrise in Paulatuk. Or was is sunset? Oh, right, it's the same thing.
Standard Paulatuk house and vehicle.
The local church.
A boat frozen into the sea ice.
Local husky pup eager to befriend me.
Baby on board! This Inuvialuit woman is "packing" her baby in the local way.
She put her winter jacket on over top and left on her "bike" (ATV).
Flying back to Inuvik, with the last rays of light fading behind the Richardson Mountains.
