The view from the Qammaq Hotel |
Clyde River is a community celebrated for two key environmental features: its proximity to some of Nunavut’s most stunning fjords and cliffs, and its weather, which has the ability to change on a dime (every half hour or so, according to experienced travelers). These changes can include everything from wind variability to dense levels of fog or snow.
Although these types of fluctuations in the weather delayed Aarluk researcher Geoff “Bigrig” Rigby’s trip to the community by one day (in this case, heavy fog), he was able to land safely on Wednesday and meet with the Clyde River District Education Authority (DEA), as part of the evaluation of operating costs and responsibilities of Nunavut DEAs Aarluk is conducting on behalf of the Coalition of Nunavut District Education Authorities. The trip was a success, the DEA was anxious to provide its input, and Geoff was able to take some pictures of a stunning sunrise the next day.
