Stood up again…
Weather: -20c; grey and snowy
Cape Dorset (Kinngait), Nunavut – First the translator, now this.
Our guides, the two of them, didn’t show up this morning. At all. We waited an hour.
This can be par for the course in the Arctic, but I was still surprised. One of them had come highly recommended. I’d talked to him every night we were here planning the day and the shots we were after. I told him if anything came up, or if he had to go hunting at the last minute, to call us right away.
But he didn’t.
It took us almost an hour to get out of all our winter gear, re-pack our equipment, and carry on with the day.
