Kimmirut (Lake Harbour) is the southernmost community on Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada. Just under 500 predominantly Inuit inhabitants live here yearround.

Fuel in the drinking water. Such a shocking crisis — I’m thinking of the people of Iqaluit. A few years ago, I made this sketch of the Sylvia Grinnell River —- a beautiful spot at the edge of the city. When I hear of people filling their own containers of water, this is the place. Planning and environmental cleanup sure matter! #arcticlogbook #iqaluit #nunavut #sylviagrinnell #drawing #watercolour #baffinisland (at Sylvia Grinnell Territorial Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVtGQH9vcLt/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just like Canadian researcher John England describes --- I was just overwhelmed by the beauty, the silence, the timelessness --- Instead of falling in love with science as John did,I fell in love with documenting the Arctic through painting and photography. Its an experience filled with many emotions and not by any stretch easy. You feel a great sense of responsibility to "Be" in this space and to honour it.
