Paulatuk Sun Blizzard Panorama #2

This one was taken when I stepped out the front (back?) door a moment after taking the previous shot. It really felt like we were stranded in the middle of nowhere, with no food except for the co-pilot's lunch, which he proceeded to eat in front of all of us, and if it had been a few hours later he would have been taking his life into his hands by not sharing it. Note to self: always pack extra emergency rations of trail mix, and always bring my survival knife, which would come in handy as an extra "motivation" to persuade greedy co-pilots to share their lunch with hungry passengers.
