Gjoa Haven is a small town on the tip of King William’s Island above the North West Territories of Canada… it’s far…
This research adventure took me to all the grandest of locations… Edmonton, Yellowknife, Cambridge Bay… then on the return a surprise pitstop in Coppermine…
As usual, there was no shortage of mishaps… I was strapped to the wall inside a DC3, lost on the back of skidoo in a white-out blizzard and on the return, emergency detoured for an engine malfunction.
One month… four white out blizzards, one caribou hunt, one day at minus one hundred, much kindness…
Things learned:
never pet the huskies
don’t let the raw rotten frozen fish melt on your tongue
pilot biscuit parties are the best
snow squeaks
I kick ass with a machete
Hunting trip… the igloo I built… with much help
Interior palace…
Huskies in town enjoying their seal dinner.
Local school/meeting place/hub of town activity.
