“I flew in a tiny 4 seater plane to the village Kimmirut on Baffin Island. This was a regular line flight but when the pilot heard that this was my first visit to Baffin Island, he enthusiastically called, “Let’s go looking for polar bears!” and followed the ice and tracks in hopes of spotting one from the air. When the airplane buzzed the school, the principal knew it was time to pick up the visiting author and jumped on his snowmobile.”
