Day 13

Today we made a hike to this lovely little pond :) It was shoking when we got there and my dad told us 'All the red you see on the shore and then bottom of the pond is bones'. Yes this is an Inuit willage site. You can see at the top right corner of the picture below there are hills. Those are actualy sodd huts, there were about five of them there. The amount of bones has accumulated over time.

And here is what walrus caches look like. Except they are undergound. We think these ones were forgotten and then dug up the next year.

Day 12

Today we went to Igloolik point to see an open grave of an inuit family they think starved and to visit our friend Alex.

Day 11

Today was one of those days that reminds me of home. It was foggy. At one point we could see about 100m in any direction and then there was just a wall of white. We went for a hike out to the lakes just at the edge of town to do some shooting practice. First time i have ever shot a gun! It was really fun but our fingers got too cold in the mist so we decided to go home after a few rounds.
