Icy neighbour moves into Patricia Bay

Nellie Iqalukjuak is dwarfed by an iceberg lodged in the ice in Patricia Bay, near Clyde River, last week. Her husband George Iqalukjuak, who photographed her on the ice, said icebergs of this size are not common in the sheltered bay and can sometimes remain there for months. Some residents collect pieces of the ice for drinking water, he said. (Photo courtesy of George Iqalukjuak)
