Jennifer over at Nunablog has pointed me in the direction of a great blog with strong links to the Arctic. Canadian CKayaker isn’t primarily about the Arctic but Michael, it’s host, lived in Iglulik in the late 60’s and recently returned there for a sea qayaq trip. His stories and photos of Iglulik in 1968 are fascinating, as it is when Inuit were making the transition from living on the land to living in town. Go visit, don’t delay. (If you click on the "Arctic" category of the blog you can scroll right down to see the posts of Iglulik in 1968, but don’t ignore the rest of the blog.)
Well Worth A Visit

Thanks for the generous comments! It was indeed a wonderful time to live among the Inuit of Igloolik back in the 60’s especially in their old camp settings and to participate in their hunts.
I wish I could buy the Herne as well. I’m a great Franklin fan and sailing the NW Passage is one of my dreams as well. Perhaps in the next life!
Cheers!
You’re welcome Michael, I enjoy your blog. I’m a big Franklin fan myself. Perhaps some day we can sit down over tea and wish we were sailing the NWP.
