Ookpiik arriving! George Broderick McGee took this great photo about half an hour outside of Coral Harbour, Nunavut by ATV at Rocky Brook.

Getting out caribou hunting is great... but it comes with something else in summer - mosquitoes. And lots of them. Sally Paungrat says 'you can see thousands of them. But it was worth it to hunt caribou. I enjoyed being out on the land. Outside of Baker Lake (Nunavut).' (submitted by Sally Paungrat)
Talk about explosive! Robert Anderson pulled over to take a shot of this odd cloud formation while on Highway 3, heading toward Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. (submitted by Robert Anderson)
