What kinds of animals do you get to see?

night (with the sun high in the sky at midnight!) nibbling things along
the side of a road. We did not see any polar bears, although we did see
their footprints leading out to the sea ice, which was pretty neat. My
favorite sighting so far was a snowy owl flying along a snowy bank. I'm
hoping to see bowhead and beluga whales when I come back in August.
Take care and thanks for the question!
