Photo by acacia.johnson / A boy pulls a toy snowmobile over the sea ice near Arctic Bay, in Canada's Nunavut region, on a break during a nine-hour snowmobile trip to a fishing lake. Every year, the Inuit community of Arctic Bay—called Ikpiarjuk in Inuktitut—holds an ice fishing derby for arctic char over a holiday weekend in May. Families and friends travel by snowmobile to spend three days camped together around frozen lakes, teaching their children to fish and enjoying time together.
