Theresa Demaio’s dog Skunk, who’s six years old, pants up a storm on a beach in Iqaluit on June 20, the summer solstice — the longest day of the year, which brings 24-hour sun to communities in Nunavut’s High Arctic. On June 20 in Iqaluit the sun rose at 2:11 a.m. and won’t set until 11 p.m.. Along with the sun comes some heat: temperatures in Iqaluit are supposed to reach close to 12 C on June 20 and 16 degrees C June 21. (PHOTO BY DAVID MURPHY)
