Happy New Year 2016; Sunrise From The Top of The World in Nunavut - Stunning Photos
From the top of the world, in Nunavut, Canada, we bring you a symbol of new beginnings for the New Year: a stunning photo very aptly titled “Frosty Sunrise.”
Eileen Arragutainak snapped the picture for the monthly photo contest of Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. (NTI), the Inuit land claims organization, and won Photo of the Year back in 2014.
The contest accepts photos from all over the Canadian territory.
“Pictures of Nunavut landscapes, communities and wildlife will be considered,” NTI says on its website . “Pictures of people in Nunavut will also be considered, although photographers must have the people in their pictures complete and sign the Photo Release Form which state that the person agrees to have their image reproduced on the website and possibly in NTI publications and materials.”
Other NTI contest winners have been featured at Indian Country Today Media Network as well.
Happy New Year, Turtle Island.

Gorgeous picture!
I'm glad I'm here, though... It's cold and clear, here in Louisville-- but certainly not that cold!
Oh come on Dowser, toughen up, it's only minus 30.
UGH!
I've been drilling in northern Indiana in -45o wind chill-- until the rig froze up.
I hated it! No birds... We used to always drill in winter, because there was no crop damage. To me, that is Hell. No birds, no signs of life, no leaves-- just cold and snow and frozen blackness. ICK!
I HATE pictures like this!
... 'cause I didn't take it...
I actually took a photo like this. But the my hands froze, dropped the camera, and than a Polar Bear ate it. That is a true story, well maybe.
Proving once again that "Nature is the Art of God" (Sir Thomas Browne)
Without a doubt Mac.
Nice photos; I noticed the one with all the cabins (Ice fishermen): I think it's just an excuse to have a place away from their wives to drink beer or spirits.
LOL Arch, ya think!!!!
Come on Fero, what's 30 to 60 below zero...
Here some traditional Inuit artic clothing. Shipping them your way via Dog Sled.
I doubt it Karen. This is traditional/regular clothing worn by the Inuit.
