Ice, Snow, and Wildlife

The sun setting across the ice that lies between Ulukhaktok and our cabin in Mashuyuk our first night out. The ice was ever so thin and the crystals were of ineffable beauty, but my little digital camera can't do them justice.

Did I mention Dan got crushed in the ice? Yeah...project's over I guess.

A ptarmigan still with it's winter plumage. Hard to see, even though I did get pretty close. Guess the camouflage works, eh?

Me getting in, what would be, the last quality butt-sliding of the season.

An Arctic fox checking out what we were up to. He didn't stick around long though, and I only could snap a few quick shots before he eluded my lense.
