Now, where were we? Ah yes, Clyde River, Nunavut.
Clyde River is an Inuit hamlet located on the shore of Baffin Island’s Patricia Bay, off Clyde Inlet, an arm of Davis Strait in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut Canada. It lies in the Baffin Mountains which in turn form part of the Arctic Cordillera mountain range. – Wikipedia
Clyde River in the Inuktituk language is Kanngiqtugaapik (Nice Little Inlet). It is also known as the “Gateway to the Fiords”. Here is Kate’s Clyde River…

Still in love with the view
This very small town provided Kate with some of her most memorable moments. There was extremely diversified subject matter, including
boats of many colours.
Magnificent giant bones.

There were a few other white furry surprises for Kate.
Pupppppppppies! Will be sled dogs next year.
I wanted to take this one home. Just too cute.
There were icebergs a plenty.
So many Icebergs in the distance – This is what the tundra looks like for anyone curious.
Lots of Icebergs
And the inevitable…
Of course there is an Inukshuk and I have a photo with it. What’s not to expect?

I think it is safe to say that this is one visit to Clyde River that Kate won’t soon forget.
