Sundog view from Iqaluit’s Plateau

A sundog appears in the sky over Iqaluit on Nov. 12. The phenomenon is caused when sunlight is refracted through ice crystals in the air, similar to the way rainbows form in the summer when sunlight shines through moisture in the air after a rainfall. Sunday’s bright sunshine came after several days of cloudy weather in the Nunavut capital. Sunday’s high was -13.9 C with a low of -18.9 C, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada. This week’s forecast is not as cold, with temperatures expected to rise from -8 C Tuesday to -1 C by Saturday. (Photo by Mosha Folger, special to Nunatsiaq News)
