Winter Camp on the Ice Road

3/28/2012

On our way back from Aklavik along the ice road, we stopped at a camp that belongs to the parents of one of my colleagues.  They were generous enough to host over 30 people in our group for some stew and bannock!

Approaching the camp (a 3 minute walk from the ice road). The wooden structure is the new cabin they are building, which isn't complete yet.

This is the existing cabin, which (believe it or not) 30 of us squeezed into!

Inside the cabin - warm and cozy!

Guns... ready to hunt!

Lining up for caribou stew - it made it steamy inside!

Outside the cabin - getting ready to leave, saying goodbye to the dogs.

Then we continued our journey on the ice road back to Inuvik.  Below are some more pictures of the road, because I never get tired of it, and I couldn't locate these photos on Monday when I posted :).

You can see the different layers of ice really clearly here if you look at the bubbles.
