The astonishing beauty of big ice: David Agnatsiak took this shot of a towering iceberg about 10 kilometres outside the Nunavut community of Pond Inlet. (Submitted by David Agnatsiak)
Frank Hope spotted this red hawk, or 'Tatséah,' on his way to work in the N.W.T.'s Thebacha territorial park. He thought it broke its wing, so he brought it to a wildlife officer. Turns out, it was just a young bird learning how to fly! It was released safely back in the wild. (Submitted by Frank Hope)
