Photo: Parking lot: qamutik season winding down in Cambridge Bay

A qamutik draped in caribou skins rests on a hunk of ice left in thawing Cambridge Bay June 11. Hunters will soon have to pack their qamutiit away as spring rains and daytime temperatures well above zero rapidly steal away snow and ice and leave in their wake a summer of boating, camping and fishing.
