Photo: Solstice moon over Iqaluit

That’s amore! A full moon hangs over Frobisher Bay on the longest day of the year, June 21. This marked the first year since 1967 that a full moon coincided with the summer solstice. June 21 was also National Aboriginal Day, a day set aside 20 years ago to recognize and celebrate the contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples to the country. According to star-gazing websites, the June full moon is known traditionally to the Algonquian peoples as the “strawberry moon,” because it coincides with strawberry picking season.
