"Looking for bling" Nunavut by SouthamptonCanada


Nunavut Travel Guide: 130 reviews and 328 photos

This was the view from my helicopter as 2 geologists collected samples of "dirt" from eskers about 100 klicks south of Kuglugtuck. They were looking for G10 garnet, a gemstone that accompanies diamonds.

Self portrait flying in the barrens.

Inuit in Kuglugtuk skinning seals on the side of the road. Seals really smell bad when this is being done to them, really bad.

    Friend of mine, on a rope ladder below a Bell Jet Ranger in the ''70's, took a hammer to Mount Wright to collect a few really nice garnets. ps: about the seal skinning . . have you ever heard that Kabloonaqs smell really bad to the Inuit? lol
