Sunrise Festival 2012: Fireworks at 30 below in Inuvik

Posted on January 8, 2012 | 2 Comments

Every year the community hosts a short celebration to mark the return of the sun. Tonight temperatures were around -30 c.

People held a large fire near the golf course and watch fireworks while sipping hot chocolate. This year was a big show with fireworks sending loud cracks echoing across the golf course.

Some people drove to Inuvik from Tuktoyaktuk for the occasion by means of the ice road.

  Yes, things were very mild here. We have not really dipped below -40 celcius this winter and there have been no big storms. So far, very good!
