Inuvik

To get to Inuvik, we took a small bush plane specially chartered for us (at the cost of $245). It was kind of neat because we were close enough to see the cockpit.















As we closed in on Inuvik, I managed to get some cool shots with my ever-ready camera.



I did the same as we left (more on that later).




In between these two photos, we actually did some stuff. For example: we participated in their Mad Trapper Jamboree. We had fun watching the Mad Trappers scrambling around to catch various common wildlife. We were lucky enough to tag along with one of the participants and see the huge buck that he caught.


Again, Inuvik isn't exactly the largest town. Here you can see one of the main streets in Inuvik:

In the distance, you can see the hill that we trekked around. It was really incredible to see some of the natural scenery, not just here but elsewhere as well. I never really realized that it all existed. Unfortunately in Inuvik I forgot my camera with on the tour of that hill, so I can't really share that with you readers. Our stay in Inuvik lasted only a day, then we departed for Iqualuit.
