A Final Trip to the High Arctic

An arial photo of the community, probably taken in June or July.
I counted about 40 houses.

I made a quick trip to Sachs Harbour, located over 500 km northeast of Inuvik, a 1.5 hour flight away. This small community of about 120 people is the only year round settlement on Banks Island.

Here are a few pictures of my trip. Enjoy.!

Lots of frozen water!
