Every year at Christmas Lee’s dad finds random gifts from around the globe that, when packaging and instructions removed, pose a difficult question: what is this for? And every year on Christmas Eve, we guess. While we were home in February this year, we popped into a toy store and found the perfect guessing gift for dad. AND we got him! Doesn’t it make the perfect snowball though?
Parts of the ice road, particularly near the split to Aklavik, there are some neat blue patches in the road where it’s easy to see the depth of the ice - and right through the road. Definitely blue ocean…but not a place I’d put a summer home.
Sorry T, hopefully we can still be friends despite this awkward-looking moment…
We took a quick trip into the Northern in Tuk to ogle the prices. And we were not disappointed. As long as you’re not into juice, anything with flour, hot chocolate or fresh fruits/veggies, you’ll be okay to pay rent.
On the ice road to Tuk (read: in the middle of the freaking Beaufort Sea) we noticed some areas where large ice drifts had run up against one another to create these neat ice rifts. The color in this one was amazing. And around the back, there was a neat cross-section of the chunk showing half inch deposits of sand in the ice (see the dark area on the ice to the right?). Boy were we cold after walking out to this one - but not tired, because as deep as the snow was, it was so hard-packed, that we barely penetrated the surface.
