Waiting for seals near Bylot Island

While waiting for seals to surface during a hunt near Bylot Island on the weekend, Pond Inlet’s Avery Arreak snapped some photos of the scenery. Arreak said the sea ice has been frozen in the area for a while. On Saturday just a few hunters were out on the ice at the time, but others were successful in the hunt, he said.
