Clyde River

Alright, my next stop is Clyde River. I am traveling by kayak, a traditional Inuit method of travel. The kayak has been used by the Inuit to hunt and fish, as well as transportation.


If he fell in it is likely he would be afflicted with hypothermia.
Polar bears don't fit in kayaks, though, so he'll have to swim alongside and protect me from killer whales.




Seals just don't have anything going for them in my blog posts, do they?
I'll update this post as soon as I reach Clyde River.

UPDATE: I've reached Clyde River. The small town of 820 (though big for towns in Nunavut) is world-famous for its rock  and ice climbing. The community is served by a school , two stores, an arena, a community hall, a church, health center, hotel and an airport with regular flights to Iqaluit. I didn't take the plane, because I'm tough, of course. And I don't think they let Polar Bears on airplanes.If you're curious about the status of my secret mission, I can't tell you yet, as I'm not even at the destination. It shall all be revealed in the last blog post. And be prepared, because it's going to be a long one.
