We continue westward, exploring along the way
The walk was mainly about bones, vegetation and a view. Firstly caribou bones
Efflorescence making beautiful patters on the rocks
Plenty of lichen, again with wonderful patterns
Plus lots of berries - blueberries and crowberries
Some lovely plants
An interesting plant with seeds along the leaves
Then up for the view
Back on the ship it was off to the spa and pool. A nice outlook from the infinity edge of the pool..
…and even a bit of sun baking
We then headed further west passing more DEW line installations (Distant Early Warning) aimed at early detection of any missiles or whatever from Russia or whoever heading towards North America. Initiated in the Cold War but still maintained.
…and having an excellent presentation from our Inuit ambassadors on board about clothing and how it is made, residential schools (just like our stolen generation) and various plant uses
Some of us got to do dress-ups
We also passed an area where a number of seals could be seen breaking the surface.
