Hey Everyone,
Its been awhile so time for and update. Went to Sachs Harbour for work and got some great pictures. Had a good time on this trip. On the flight back to Inuvik we saw the northern lights that was neat to see up in the air.
It has been very cold and super clear so have had some great northern lights shows recently, I have attached a few to this email. They are definitely the best thing about winter up here.
Only a few more months until summer. I cannot wait for the long days and warm weather. The bugs I dot not look forward to as much but I will take them too for long days and warmth.
I attached a bunch of pictures of the trip to Sachs and of Northern Lights. Enjoy.
Sunset in Sachs Harbour
Looking out onto the vast Arctic Ocean (as far as the eye can see)
Almost $6 for a can of soup. Most other things were just as expensive.

Deon and I explored an abandoned hotel (the Icicle Inn). It was super creepy.
Doors and windows were broken so snow was all blown through. Animal tracks throughout as well.
The inn was so creepy because it was as if there were people there and they just left all of a sudden. Papers, chairs, beds, even sheets and cleaners, etc. left just like they would come back some day to use them. It could daily be the site of a horror film - post apocalypse.
Beside the inn was an abandoned science station as well. Equally as creepy!
Cairn in Sachs Harbour with a plaque about the first visit to the location by the arctic vessel the Mary Sachs in 1913. Very nice view of Sachs Harbour as well.
On the Ice Road on the way to Tuk from Inuvik.
It was cold!
Truck coming on the road.
Northern Lights (March 9, 2012)
Northern Lights from by backyard.
From the front yard they were all around.
The next pictures were of the Northern Lights from the Ice Road. We went out to get out of the light.
Hope you enjoyed the pictures.
Will post again.
Josh
