Sheldon Oqallak took this photo Sept. 13 while out on a walk with his brother Sebastian Oqallak and Sebastian’s girlfriend Nora Eecheak in Arctic Bay. “The northern lights caught our eyes, so we walked down to the breakwater,” he said. Sheldon Oqallaq said he wanted to test out the night photography capabilities of his new cellphone. He is from Resolute Bay, but made the trip to Arctic Bay by boat to see his family and for work purposes. (Photo courtesy of Sheldon Oqallak)
