Carving stone found

This is significant. The Western Arctic has had limited carving because of a lack of high quality stone:

A Nunavut government project looking at quarries in the territory found some high quality stone for carvers this summer.

Carver Jerry Ell spent the summer inspecting quarries around Nunavut to grade the stone for Nunavut's Department of Economic Development and Transportation.

Ell visited sites near Pond Inlet, Arctic Bay, Rankin Inlet, Baker Lake and Iqaluit.

He said there are many quality sites including big deposits of marble near Arctic Bay and high grade stone at the Meadowbank mine near Baker Lake, although some has been affected by blasting.

Fantastic blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
I'm hoping to start my own blog soon but I'm a little
lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free
platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?
There are so many options out there that I'm completely overwhelmed .. Any tips? Thanks!

Hello, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your blog site in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has
some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads
up! Other then that, very good blog!
