I've been to Nunavik again. Back to Kangirsuk for 2 weeks. This was my first arctic visit in winter and I was worried that I wouldn't connect to the landscape as strongly now that the rich tundra that I love so much was covered in snow. I was wrong. It's just as spectacular in the winter. The ever-present wind really packs down the snow so it's very hard and then sculpts it into beautiful abstract forms and textures which is enhanced by the amazing light. Here are some images I took while on a very cold walk (with wind chill factor it felt like -40C...that's the same in Farenheit!) on a beautiful sunny day.

Spectacular landscapes, Kate. It must have been an amazing experience walking across this vaste whiteness to work every day.
Really incredible shot Kate!
these are simply spectacular and stunning in their minimal colors and contrasts of cold shadows and light-- they reminded me of your work-- minimal yet striking
you found the best bits :)
These sculptures are as amazing as the rock formations in The Grand Canyon, but so ever changing with the seasons. Thank you for sharing.
What lovely shapes and designs nature makes with snow.
White may not be a colour, but it's luminating nonetheless.
Thanks for sharing such beautiful photos!
these photos have taken my breath away. the wind has blown both snow & me.
