We were fortunate enough to fly to Tuktoyuktuk with Arctic Nature Tours in a Twin Otter and enjoy a tour of the Inuit settlement including a descent 30' into the permafrost where the fish and seal meat is stored. I also enjoyed the balmy 28C day and took a brief swim in the warm waters of the Arctic Ocean. I even have the certificate to prove it. It felt like we were on the edge of the world and thoughts of early explorers for the North West Passage and whalers as well as the historical lives of the Inuit make it a very rich place.
