Grise Fiord

Today I flew to Grise Fiord, the northernmost village in Canada. The purposes are to prepare supply goods and to conduct snow sampling. This morning four people I befriended in Resolute Bay came to see me off. I was the only passenger and the rest was a large quantity of luggage loaded on board the 9:00 airplane.

The weather was fine and I could see the landscape far away. After flying about one and a half hours, the plane landed in Grise Fiord where I was greeted by Annie who I became acquainted with in Resolute Bay. Originally I was scheduled to fly one week earlier, so she has been wondering when I was coming here.

About 150 people live in this village. That's about 50 people less than Resolute Bay.

Compared to Resolute Bay, Grise Fiord is long from side to side.
