wondering what I'm traveling by to get to Iqaluit? No, not a dogsled. No, not a kayak. No, not a polar bear mount. I'm walking. Yeah, I'm pretty tough.

I leave this town and this is what I see:
 |
| Not shown: murderous Polar Bears. |
I have to climb over this hill to reach the sea, then walk across the frozen ocean to Iqaluit. This may be difficult elsewhere, but I invite you to remember that this is the arctic, where merciless hunters club baby seals to support their livelihoods.
 |
| Mmm, delicious. |
It's no-mans-land out here, and fortunately it's summer so I don't expect the sun to set any time soon. And before you ask, no, global warming is not happening. It is very possible to walk across the ocean to Iqaluit to save money. At least, that's what my debriefing agent said.

He did tell me however, about the arctic region. With freezing cold winters, I am glad to operate during the cool summers.The ground is permanently frozen, and there is very little precipitation, making it effectively a desert. Not very hospitable.
 |
| This is not the Arctic. |
I hope to be in Iqaluit by tomorrow. Wish me luck!
