Boat patrol


Our outfitter, taking us out to patrol the north coast of the park. This was the end of October, and the temp's were dropping to -15 degrees Celsius. It doesn't sound too bad, but when you're on the open ocean, it is bloody cold!



The high, noon-hour sun above Qikiqtarjuaq.



What a polar bear looks like when skinned and chopped up into a bunch of pieces.



Bergs, floating south from Baffin Bay.



The purpose of this patrol was to place boundary signs along the coast, as well as observe any activities of the sport-hunters in the nearby vicinity.



Seals taking advantage of the recently formed sea ice.



A successful hunter with his polar bear. He was outside of the park.



I will not pass judgement...
