Photographer Michael H. Davies  took this incredible photo on the tundra outside Pangnirtung, Nunavut, a community of about 1,400 just a few kilometres south of the Arctic circle.

Born and raised in Pontypool, Ontario, Canada Davies studied at Sir Sanford Fleming School of Fine Arts where he focused intensely on studio work in pen and ink illustrations, painting in most mediums, glassblowing, artist blacksmith, stone carving, sculpture and photography.

Today, living 20 km south of the Arctic Circle in the picturesque Hamlet of Pangnirtung, Nunavut, Davies says he has “been given the unique opportunity to acquire inspiration from a culture and climate that most people will never experience. I draw inspiration from these experiences, in an attempt to capture my surroundings… giving the viewer a glimpse into life in the high Canadian Arctic.”
