Nunavut
You are struck by the unexpected presence of a stony figure on the open tundra. Rocks piled into the rudimentary form of a person, standing arms outstretched. Who built it? And why? Why here, where the land seems no more remarkable than the vast tracts of wilderness you’ve already crossed? Caribou bones and arrowheads scattered around its feet hint at a larger significance. You marvel at the perfect balance of well-chosen stones, laid with care for ultimate durability. Looks like the builders left a small gap though. You peer through an opening in the torso – and find centred in your sights, another stony figure in the distance. The Arctic has many secrets, you just have to take the time to look.
