Due north to the land of permafrost and muskeg and the northern lights - that is where I'm headed.

I like alternative music, sci-fi/fantasy, puddle jumping in the pouring rain, the smell of decaying aspen leaves, stormy windy days, spruce bogs, doing cartwheels in the dark, dragonfly watching, fitzchivalry farseer, macintosh apples, climbing, hiking, swimming, guitar, canoe tripping, reciting the periodic tables, watercolour painting, identifying plants, ecology, wildlife, singing, maps, photography, poetry, reading, art, and the colour green
They came like raindrops against the towers of time, but in time the rain always prevails. The Fool (aka Robin Hobb)

Some very interesting pictures. Blizzards are pretty uncommon occurrences here. I am amazed at how much light Baker is getting this time of year compared to here. It seems like we aren't even in the same territory.

Even on the 21st of December, I think we still get a good 4 hours with the sun above the horizen and then a few more hours of twillight on either side. We are only at 64 degrees of latitude here... You guys are at 72... That puts you a good bit north. But Repulse Bay (Naujaat), which is only 2 degrees north of us gets 1 day of complete darkness anyways. As for blizzards, topographically, the mainland is really a lot flatter than the Baffin Coast and we are about 265 km from Hudson's Bay (at Rankin Inlet) so that also effects our climate and topography and local preference in foods from the land. A lot more freshwater fish and caribou are eaten here - not very much seal, whale or walrus.
Brrrr.
Wow this is really interesting
