After a hectic two weeks of weddings and friends, we were ready for some 'us time'- a honeymoon to The North.
The flash on our camera didn't get much use. Except for the first couple of nights, we were in constant daylight.

Although we flew to Tuk, from Inuvik, we took a boat for the trip back.
We were lucky enough to be invited to the whaling camp of our captain's relatives, where they had recently harvested a Beluga.
