An Arctic Trifecta
I ventured out to Uluksan Point this afternoon, as pods of Narwhal are still hanging around in Adam's Sound. Everything was a long way off, but this photo contains 1) Narwhal; 2) A small flock of eider; and 3) and iceberg. As a bonus here is a slightly better photo of a Narwhal splashing in…

Icy
The last couple of years have seen a growth in the number of icebergs around. Or at least that I'm noticing. Part of that is just the vagaries of currents and the wind (although icebergs are mostly driven by current not wind, there is a lot more of them under water than above). Part of…
