Hello! Today was a bright and sunny day in Inuvik, so I went for a hike on the ski trails that are just behind my apartment. Although the sun was shining, the temperature hoovered around minus 30 degrees Celsius, and it was chilly. Nevertheless, I got bundled up, and went for it. The trails are gorgeous, they really capture what the majority of the landscape looks like around here. And they were virtually deserted save for a couple skiers and I. The picture above shows me an hour or so into my hike. I was amazed at how the ice crystals had formed on my balaclava, on my had and on my eyelashes, all from my breath! I know the photo isn't amazing, but I had to show you guys the crystals that formed. Also, it is sooo hard to take photos when I'm out on walks, because as soon as I take my hand out of my mitt, it's instantly cold. I will certainly show you all some photos of the landscape, the hike took me away from town a bit, and I ended up having a neat look from one point of the trail over town. I was just astonished by this photo, so I had to share it. Hopefully wherever you are reading this right now, you are warm and cozy, because as I write it, I sure am.
