Description: Arctic talk, travel, thoughts, news
You could say 2022 was a year with highs and lows. It included a car crash, allergic reactions, a lot of remote work, terrific hikes, reunions with friends, some interesting stories and a memorable spring visit to Cambridge Bay, with its bright sun and endless views that included encounters with Ollie the Muskox.
I felt like a migratory bird heading to the Arctic: I just had to go.
And so, I was happy: for a couple of days during the annual Umingmak Frolics, held every spring in Cambridge Bay, I was able to be out on the ice outside town and watch snowmobile races.
