After Three Days in the North

Three days are over now and things are getting more and more exciting! We are currently in Resolute, Nunavut, after staying in Yellowknife for a couple days. the weather in Yellowknife has not been too cold, but now that we are in Resolute, it has dropped to -22'C, with a wind chill of 34'C!! We got to use all our crazy warm winter gear on a walk around the town. Some things that we have done so far include exploring Yellowknife, learning so much about the dangers of the Arctic, going bowling, and of course flying all over the place. We have done so much more than that, but our days here are so packed that it would take the rest of the evening (actually morning now I guess) to finish writing it.
Everything that I have seen so far has been nothing like anything I have ever experienced, every little thing I see and feel is almost totally new. Today, when we arrived in Resolute, the only thing that I could see was a tiny little group of houses (the town of Resolute) and the rest was just white! Everything, as far as the eye can see, is pretty much uninhabited white area, and is a thing that you must really see for yourself to experience. Luckily, I took lots of pictures to share with everyone.
I am sure that the next few days will be even more exciting since we are going to the local school tomorrow and doing a whole range of activities with them.
