Ice breakup along the Koksoak River

Ice floats down the Koksoak River near Kuujjuaq on Wednesday during spring breakup. “In the past 20 years that I lived here, I think it’s the earliest and fasted ice breakup I have seen, as the river never really had the chance to freeze completely due to the mild weather we had this past winter,” writes Isabelle Dubois. “Usually, the earliest it would break was around the Victoria Day long weekend, and the latest I’ve seen it was towards the end of June. This year’s breakup was really smooth, without the thundering sound of ice pile ups, which there wasn’t much of.” (Photo by Isabelle Dubois)

Last kicksled ride of the season

Isabelle Dubois took this photo Saturday afternoon while out on a kicksled ride with her two huskies on Tasirlaq Lake. “It was probably their last ride of the year, as the snow was getting wet and heavy, even on the lake, and getting scarce in some places on the land. Not to mention getting a bit warm for the dogs, especially for my big fur ball of a male (left),” she writes. (Photo by Isabelle Dubois)
