This June my brother-in-law and I took off to Kangiq (Cape Crauford), the western edge of of the mouth of Admiralty Inlet to Lancaster Sound. The tracks of two young Polar Bear skirt a crack in the sea ice in Admiralty Inlet. Still, with that many bear you have to stay vigilant. A scant 24 hours to take it in. Ringed Seal.
