Here’s part II, with a bit of information on what makes Inuvik so unique: The site for Inuvik was chosen for its elevation above the Mackenzie River floor zone, ample space for an airport, freshwater lakes and navigable waters. The community sits on a broad terrace…
I can’t believe that I’ve been back from Inuvik for about 10 days now. Time seems to fly-by these days. I had promised to post about my trip, which was fantastic, by the way. I had a really good time; the town is very interesting and the people I met, lovely. Here are a few…
Oh, yes, it’s been a while. Time flies when you are having fun. And when you are not having fun but working hard, but have too many things going on and not enough time … I’ll take a break for a few minutes now to tell you that I’m going North … way, way North. …
