10,000……
Views that is!! Etienne and I have been checking out the Stats on our blog. We’ve been watching the number of views on our blog increase quickly. We have said that if/when it ever reached 10,000 views we’d write a post about it. So, this morning it has hit 10,000 views. (more…)
Northern Lights…..or not…
We initially went out to take a few pictures of the Northern Lights. By the time we got dressed and drove out of town the lights were gone. Maybe next time. We still were able to get a couple really nice pictures. Hope you enjoy. (more…)
Sunset
I finally brought the camera outside with me today when I took the dog out to play. It was -21 but it was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and no clouds. The pictures below were taken at 1:30pm today. You can see the sun is starting to set. (more…)
Winter weather
During this past weekend we had some bad weather. (more…)
Burn baby burn!
We took this video over a month ago. There are two reasons why it’s taken us so long to get it on the blog. (more…)
My new parka
Since we moved up here in August, I wasn’t able to buy a warm winter jacket from the south. I have a winter coat that was plenty warm enough in northern Alberta, but it just wouldn’t keep up with the cold up here. Etienne and I spent a lot of time online researching jackets. (more…)
Memorial Dance
For the past three years, a memorial dance has been held in Chesterfield to raise money for Cancer. The family puts on the fundraiser in memory of a gentleman that died of Cancer three years ago. It starts on Thursday evening and goes for the weekend. It is a pretty big event. People fly in from around the area.
He lived to tell the tale!!
On Tuesday Chesterfield Inlet Development Corporation (CIDC) held a feast and prizes for their 10 year anniversary. They had a tonne of food there. Both “regular” food and “country food”. The regular food included: turkey, ham, macaroni salad, buns, etc. Country meat is an assortment of frozen(raw) and “cached”
What we’ve patiently been waiting for…
A real live Polar Bear!! (more…)
Partial Success
So I decided to brave the -20ºc (-35º with windchill) weather today and take the dog outside to play. (more…)

Us
The above photo is me and her. You probably had it all figured out anyways. We are about to live a once in a lifetime experience, The Great White Canadian Arctic. We have decided to create this blog to keep our friends, families and curious strangers abreast of our adventures. I'm sure a few misadventures as well. All while living in Chesterfield Inlet, Nunavut. Read on to see what it's all about!

Oh! And by the way, this is Cisco, our dog. Even though she likes to puke a lot, she's still part of the family and will partake in our adventure to the North. She'll be sure to keep us on our toes and keep the polar bears at bay! She's also good for a few laughs in between leg humping sessions. We still haven't figured out how to stop that...
Thank you for a great year (or half year in our case) of blogging.
