The Ice is Missing in Canadian Arctic Harbor. By Don Martin, Toronto National Post, Aug. 21, 2010. "They cut short Canada Day celebrations here this year. It was simply too hot to play outdoors. That might not be unusual in the humidity soaking some Canadian cities this summer, but tiny Sachs Harbour clings to a shoreline more than 500 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle. Until 10 years ago, the ocean was clogged with ice thick enough to walk across in late June. Strange things are happening 'neath the midnight sun these days... 'We've seen hummingbirds and wasps and bumblebees,' adds Mervin Gruben, Mayor of Tuktoyaktuk. 'They're catching salmon and squid. I've never ever seen those up here in my life. It's freaky.'"
