Plane flight a walk away

Two women wheel a suitcase through snow and gravel in 0 C temperatures on their way to the airport in Qikiqtarjuaq to catch an afternoon flight Monday. The airport is roughly a kilometre away from the hamlet’s core area. Like most smaller Nunavut communities, Qikiqtarjuaq does not have a taxi service. (Photo by Arty Sarkisian)

    The new airport is less than half the distance to the old site shared when the DEW Site Fox 5 was manned

    Well said Bert !!!!

    A bit of accurate, historical, non partisan facts is what we sadly miss in the North at the moment.

    Everybody has an axe to grind nowadays,

    Thanks
