Photo: Ahoy! Arctic Bay harbour busy in summer

The tiny M/V Wave, the red dot to the far left in this photo, fresh from transversing the Northwest Passage, shares anchorage in Arctic Bay with the Woodward Group fuel ship, M/V Travestern, and the sealift supply ship, M/V Anna Desgagnés, seen here sending one of its barges ashore. Summer is a busy time for Nunavut’s coastal communities but soon those watery havens will be covered in ice. (PHOTO BY CLARE KINES)
