Today we are in Canada or more properly in the Canadian territory of Nunavut. It is a territory created in 1999 from the Northwest territory to provide a land and self-government for the Inuit people.
It’s a clear and sunny day but still cold. We looked for animals from the deck this morning. Tibor saw harp seals but they were too far for me to see them.
The interesting thing for me was the ship was by an iceberg that kept getting closer and closer. The ship moved out of it’s way and later in the afternoon I saw that same iceberg had moved quite a distance.
We took the zodiac to land and went to a cultural show in town. It was quite fun.
I went back to the ship right after the show and Tibor walked around. He was quite cold when he returned and I suggested he give the spa a try- he did and said he feels nice and warm now. The spa has a heated pool, sauna, steam room, a snow grotto and a hot tub. I had tried the heated pool a few days ago and it was nice and you couldn’t beat the view.
We didn’t go kayaking today. Many of the folks onboard want to kayak and there isn’t enough time or kayaks for everyone to go so the staff rotates who can go to give everyone a chance to kayak. The same thing happens to a lesser extent with the Special Operations Boat excursions and to an even lesser extent to the Zodiac landing excursions. There appear to be many more options to go on the zodiacs as they usually just drop folks off on land and go back to get the next batch.
