A ship's visit to Arviat, Nunavut...


A ship's visit..., originally uploaded by Arviat Nunavut.

Ships bring in almost all heavy goods to Arviat. There are no roads or railroads to any Nunavut community... all are "flyin" communities... meaning that the only regular way to get into the communities is by air... so heavy goods, food and all supplies are much more expensive than in Canada's southern communities.
