Ice Road Trip to Tuktoyaktuk


Mackenzie River ice road in the early dawn.

February 3rd, 2013

Sunrise: 11:03 am
Sunset: 5:17 pm

Temps: -35'C - -27'C

Did I mention that my job brings me to amazing places? I recently enjoyed a trip to Tuktoyaktuk, NWT, aka "Tuk."
Enjoy the pictures.

Driving on the frozen Arctic Ocean. You know, no big deal.

After 2.5 hours on the road, the sprawling metropolis of Tuk greets me.

Sunrise (at noon) in Tuk: Clear, calm and cold (-37'C)

Typical Tuk houses, with the Arctic Ocean beyond.

Looking out over the frozen, wind-swept sea ice... towards...lots of frozen water.

Arctic Ocean selfie. It's always the magic hour with low-angle Winter sunlight.
