Fire in the sky, ice in the water

The sun sets on sea ice remnants near Qikiqtarjuaq on Aug. 1 around 9:45 p.m. in this photo taken by Maggie Kuniliusie. “We were in awe/ahh… moments to have witnessed this magnificent scenery but a little bit sad at the same time as we watched the sun disappeared behind those mountains,” she writes. “This signifies 24 hour sunlight is over.” (Photo by Maggie Kuniliusie)

    What a wonderful feature and so great to witness the change from 24 hours sunlight to total dark in time. I love your paper and follow your reporting since sometime, glad to see what happens in your world.
