Iqaluit, Nunavut

I went out to Iqaluit for work and it was quite an enjoyable trip as it was more like a small city (they even had a Tim Hortons in Inuktitut)! The landscape has more hills than Cambridge Bay and there was an excellent view of the community from the top of the hill. Just as in Cambridge Bay, people get around in cars and on snowmobiles, although here they seem to take great pleasure in trying to run down people on the icy streets (pedestrians don't seem to have the right of way).

Coffee!!

No snowmobile & ATV parking allowed…

I also managed to visit St. Jude's Church which is in the shape of an igloo and the museum in town which has a number of gorgeous carvings.

The view from the plane between Yellowknife and Iqaluit was really quite impressive as we saw the different types of land we were crossing. We even got a good glimpse of the sun!
