Dettah

This past week I went to a conference in Dettah, a small community about a 40-minute drive away from Yellowknife on dirt roads.  In the winter, there is an ice road that connects Yellowknife and Dettah over the Great Slave Lake, and it takes the travel time down to 10-15 minutes.  These are some pictures I took during my time in Dettah.

Since I took these pictures last week, we've had a bit of a warm snap in Yellowknife.  It got up to 5C this weekend, and the snow turned to slush.  The chains we put on our car don't do so well when the ice melts.
