Our happiest day in Igloolik was when the ship arrived with our sealift. The sealift is our yearly supply of groceries (both dry and frozen) that we ordered during the summer. There are two grocery stores here, the Co-op and the Northern, but it is much cheaper to order a sealift. We also had our snowmachine delivered on our sealift. To put the size of the ship in perspective, the boat to the left is the coastguard. They guide the ship and were also in town doing some health checkups/surveys on some of the locals.



Everything is unloaded from the big ship and floated in on barges with tugbots. Then, 3 huge forklifts deliver everything in town. It is quite an operation. They operated the forklifts from morning until nightfall!



The forklift delivering our food. Our snowmachine was at the bottom of our food. We were very happy to have food. Did I mention we liked food?
