Ice Ice Baby
Somehow the view out our camper window has me channeling the Vanilla Ice lyrics “Ice Ice Baby”. Probably its the surrealistic view across a frozen Beaufort Sea from the Arctic village of Tuktoyaktuk, where we spent the night. Will be returning to Inuvik s...
Wonderful shots.
Isn't there a saloon in Dawson Creek where you take a whiskey shot with someone's toe in the shot? I think it's called the Sourtoe cocktail.
Easy to mix them up
You’ve got the story right except it’s Dawson City at the Sourtoe Saloon. Word is they are on the 25th toe! Not for me though 🤮
just finished reading Erebus from Michael Palin
you must be living an enjoyable adventure!
first half is a little boring
but Palin makes up for it in the second half. there was also a series on Netflix 'Terror' which I enjoyed. Terror is the sister ship of Erebus
Yes an amazing duo the Erebus and Terror
If I can return the favour and recommend Barrow’s Boys by Fergus Fleming. Barrow was the Secretary to the British Admiralty who launched these expeditions across the world during the 19th century.
It’s a nice place
With much more to do in the summer. Right now most everything related to gold rush history is closed.
Impressive landscape!
Icescape might be more appropriate, here. And a nice shot of your cold weather Overseas! I remember it from your everest post. May it be a friendly companion in this rough environment! Best, Daniel
Land and water merge
On the permafrost. A real feat they were able to put an all-weather road on top of it but they are worried about the future impact of warming weather.
Thanks we’ll take all your well-wishes
Tomorrow we drive over 100km on a frozen river to visit a remote village for a few days. Have to wait for the road South to open again!
We dun see both the black watch and the ice view.
Thanks fr sharing. Playing 🧊 🧊 baby as it type. ...
I would like to go there some day.
Coincidentally, I was doing some cramming about the Arctic.
