Photo: It’s a triple-12 day today

With the temperature in Iqaluit at -22 C, normal for mid-December, the sun rose in Iqaluit at 9:12 a.m. on Dec. 12, 2012 — or 12/12/12. Today is the last day of this century when all three numbers — day, month and year — will all match. That won’t happen again until Jan. 1, 2101. (PHOTO BY DAVID MURPHY)
