*Midnight Sun Moonrise*
In the twilight of the midnight sun, the moon rises on the old Anglican mission house on Qikiqtaruk-Herschel Island. Dating back to 1916, the abandoned building has found new occupants in the form of black guillemots. It is the only known nesting colony of these seabirds in the Yukon, and the largest in the Western Arctic.
