Tuktoyaktuk 043a1

The flights to Tuktoyaktuk serve multiple functions: 1) carrying cargo and mail, 2) providing access to Inuvik for local residents, and 3) as Arctic tours. Of the 7 passengers on the plane, five of us were tourists. The bush pilot arranges for a van to pick you up at the airport and take you around the town. The van isn't really a tour, since the driver says "tell me where you'd like to go," and doesn't provide much guidance.

From 1994 San Francisco - Arctic Ocean camping trip. Scan of an older picture. Best viewed as part of the NW Canada set.
