Arctic Tour
The second day of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Western Canadian Arctic tour started this morning. This was the view from my hotel window last night at the last light of the day.
We went straight to the airport where we boarded a Canadian Armed Forces C-130 Hercules aircraft for a quick flight to Tuktoyaktuk, here is the Prime Minister boarding the plane.
Some images on board the Herc including my seat and office, lunch, and CP photographer Tom Hanson from Ottawa.
Tuk was cold! In Aug it was +2, although I guess it is 300 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle. The great thing about Tuk, is we could hook up Sierra Wireless cards and transmit photos at the Arctic Ocean. Here I am sending photos to Singapore on the tarmac and the RCMP officer is waiting to inspect our bag with a sniffer dog before we board the plane.
We flew straight to Dawson City, Yukon from here, which is a famous old gold mining town in the north, cool and wacky place, a place you want to spend some time in and shoot a lot of photos, there is a picture around every corner.

North of the Circle
Off to Inuvik for a tour of the Western Arctic with the Prime Minister. Flying on First Air was great, with a hot meal. Stood on the North Pole, almost attacked by a polar bear and watched a great sunset at 11 pm.
