Photo: Frobisher Bay sees huge tides

A view of Iqaluit from the city’s breakwater the evening of April 9, where tides peaked at 11.5 metres. Nunavut saw some of its highest tides this past weekend, called spring tides, which occur just after the new moon, when the tide-generating force of the sun acts in the same direction as that of the moon.
