Plane approaching the Iqaluit airport

The town sits on the shore of Frobisher Bay

 When you fly into Iqaluit the first thing you notice is that there are no trees…you aren’t above the arctic circle but you’re close!  The winds can be very strong making it seem on the ground like you are in blizzard.

The wind blows across the landscape

The boats await a very short fishing season

The sun is down early and the Air First flight is ready to go
