Arctic Mark in Stanley Park

Inuvik's Sacred (but Not-So-Secret) Bus Graveyard

One of the things I had noticed on my previous trips to Inuvik was the striking absence of buses in the town, and now I know the reason: they have all come here to die. Very few people have ever had the privilege of seeing this sacred place in person, and I consider myself blessed to have seen it. I just hope that by publishing this picture on my blog, I won't be responsible for sparking a massive tourist invasion of this rare and secret place. That would be an even greater tragedy than the loss of these grand and noble creatures.
