My parents and I are currently driving to the Arctic Ocean, because we were doing the Alaska Highway and realized this was an option

I'm in Inuvik, NWT. I'm wearing shorts, which is weird. but holy shit, this world is beautiful.

if y want on my FB, insta, or access to my Google album for the trip lmk

There you are!

there is 1.5 hours of night where I am, currently

But I'm not even sure where to start with pictures lol

Just sling us some random goodness

Look I brought my 15 year old tiny cat and she LEARNED TO CLIMB A LADDER

You should just plunk yourself down in Dawson City and stay there.

Here?

Yes! Be a big fish in a small pond!

wow, gorgeous

pollypaperclip OMG

INUVIK

magicom: TOMORROW

(I'm two miles outside at the moment: )

Omg so beautifulllll

it's un-fucking-real

also if you didn't figure it out, my dad is currently holding the rig together with rope and wire lol

majestic pics!

pruememo: thanks!!

the thing they don't capture is just ... the vastness of the green plains

magicom: ok so do you have insight into this place?

That reminds me of how I felt when I visited the Alps: The photos don't capture the verticality of the place.

PollyPaperclip: that makes sense

The sun will set at like 2:23 and rise at 3:45

Not by experience; I just always wanted to go to the North

magicom: I hope you do!!

Thank you i am super envious but i'm so glad you got to do it

we haven't even gotten to Alaska yet

amazing

komikbookgeek: it is

the local people are also really friendly and mostly First Nations

yeah in those areas that's often the case

omg what a dream trip

I've never really seen pics of the Yukon or NT in summer, absolutely gorgeous

ashavah: so I guess the trees grow farther north here than most of the Circle, so it's warmer etc. I didn't expect it to be so forested!

Wow that’s amazing

cannibalherpes: I'm very fortunate

y'all the mosquitoes though

we're dying

yeah that's an issue I've heard

We've just been invited to come to the North games on Monday

we asked what games and the guy was like, "uh, you know. Inuit. Games."

Gonna beg for your Instagram, that’s amazing

pepperedkris

no harm if you drop off after, I'm easy

Met another lady with her kids in the community greenhouse

she moved here from Vancouver with her wife and really likes how everything is run by natives and misses it when she goes home

she invited us to her kid's little league game

wow, nice

those are lovely
