"...Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs."

Camping on the tundra in June offers some of the best experiences of the season.

The days are endlessly long with the complete absence of night just a little further north. Bugs have not yet risen from winter sleep and air is fresh, filled with the scent of the awakening tundra foliage, emerging replete with flowers.

Best of all is the chance witnessing of the breaking of the ice on Arctic rivers as they surge to full spate with melt water, under the gentle warmth of a northern sun.

EXPLORE #152 25 June 2020
After a long cold Spring, the river finally broke from its icy cage and plunged at full spate towards Frobisher Bay. Large chunks of ice, some as thick as two meters, that had been previously frozen to the river bottom were torn free in the surge and now litter the riverbanks where they will slowly melt under a June sun.
