When the sun returns to the Arctic, it makes itself at home. Long, bright days are the norm now and the Arctic is alive with fishing, harvesting and sure, a little hockey on the pond, as these Cambridge Bay kids demonstrate. The sun rises around 5 a.m. in western Nunavut these days and goes down around 9 p.m. With sunny skies forecast, and daily high temperatures in the low minus teens expected for the weekend, it’s likely this game of shinny will continue.
