"On the Land"

Today was spent "On the Land", which is a strange expression considering we spent 99% of the time on the water, albeit frozen solid. We took snow mobiles and Kamoteks around the island. I will never complain about bumpy roads again. We traveled to the East side of Broughton Island, and our fist stop was to explore some caves and do a little climbing. The landscape was, once again, spectacular.
From Mr.Bernards:

"A short trip later we stopped for a longer time, where we enjoyed a hot lunch consisting of soup, hotdogs and, for the brave, seal. It was fully cooked - the raw experience comes later in the trip. The students wandered about, took photos, and played various games, the most popular being soccer. Nothing like a soccer match on the frozen Baffin Sea.

On the return trip we made one final stop which gave all who were up for it a chance to climb up a slope and slid down - tobogganning without the toboggan! You can tell by the pictures it was a great time.

Tonight there is a craft sale. Saturday begins overnight camping and bringing water to the elders. Can this trip get any better??"


Great group photo!!!
