Halfway

Unfortunately we are already halfway through the trip, but we have done soooo much already! Yesterday we had a "tea" with the elders of the community and I learned a lot. After the elder's tea, they brought out a whole range of different local animals for us to try and eat: I ended up having narwhal, seal, arctic char, caribou and even polar bear! We have learned everything from solar eclipses to the flora of the arctic to the different animals that live here.
Today we went onto the land on a sled pulled by skidoos. It turned out to be awesome!! There wasn't very much to hold onto, because we were just sitting on a tarp, and one of the CANDAC people, Pierre, fell off and nearly got hit by the sled behind us. We were "on the land", meaning away from the village, for about 2 hours and we saw very cool historical Inuit sites, and we went out onto the ice. On the ice, which is the north-west passage, we traveled for quite some time and stopped at random places to see massive bits of ice which were being pushed up out of the water.
I'm pretty sure that the sun doesn't ever set, so it is light almost 24 hours a day. This has given everyone lots of energy and most of the time we stay up till 12 or 1.
Besides all the arctic stuff, I learned how to juggle, and I learnt how to snow-kite, one of the teachers, Andy, brought a snow kite with him.
All in all, everything here is very, very, very awesome!!
