Cambridge Bay

These are my memories about an ill-fated group ice-fishing trip by plane from Cambridge Bay to somewhere on the artic tundra. Everyone came out completely safe and unharmed, but let’s just say that no fishing of any kind happened.

After an igloo building bee, and hearing the stories from the brave women who were first to try out sleeping overnight in the little dome, it was the guys turn.

Helping to build and later sleep in an igloo still remains a strong memory from my time in Cambridge Bay.

A complete - fairly long - account of a trip from Cambridge Bay, Nunavut to Gjoa Haven, Pelly Bay and finally Taloyak.

This little piece is about a jaunt out of Cambridge Bay just across a small bay to the east where the rotting hulk of a boat sits on the shoreline.

During my 10-month stay in Cambridge Bay, any chance to get out of town to was a chance not only to explore, but also escape.

The title suggests this post is about a meal, but the topic is really about adapting to new and different realities.

Sure, it was just a quad ride out of town, but it was also my first chance to escape the what was becoming the prison of being in Cambridge Bay for too long.

Tour a few places in Cambridge Bay using Google Earth Web and Google Streetview images.

This is my account of the trip north from Saskatoon, SK, to Calgary, AB, then Edmonton, AB, then Yellowknife, NWT and finally Cambridge Bay, NWT (now Nunavut).
