Boats along the shore of Frobisher Bay are parked for good this winter, as frosty temperatures this past week in Iqaluit gave the bay’s freeze-up a head start. While windchill pushed the temperatures to below -40 C over the weekend, the mercury is expected to rise to -4 C by Tuesday. Last winter, open patches of water could still be seen in Frobisher Bay in early January. (PHOTO BY SARAH ROGERS)
