The City of Iqaluit warned people in a public service announcement to drive slowly due to roads that remained slippery before the mercury rises. The Iqaluit District Education Authority closed schools for the morning due to the icy conditions, and later announced Aqsarniit, Inuksuk, Joamie and Nakasuk schools will remain closed for the afternoon but are expected to reopen Tuesday as usual. Despite the warm temperatures Monday, the remainder of the week is expected to be consistently below zero. (Photo by Jeff Pelletier)

Iqalummiut race to pick up a hammer and then drive a nail into a wooden box, as close to 200 people packed into Nakasuk School in Iqaluit on Wednesday night for the annual Christmas games. For this event, people get in a circle and roll a dice. If the dice hit a certain number, participants have to run to the middle, grab the hammer and pound one of the nails into a wooden block. Kids played other games, including rolling a ball and trying to hit a lighter positioned about 10 metres away, and a paper airplane flying contest. The games started Dec. 23 and continue until Dec. 30 at Nakasuk School. (Photo by David Lochead)
