Fall on the Tundra

Nunavik is a pristine wilderness of water, forest, and tundra, and home to the Inuit of Northern Quebec. In the fall, the tundra erupts in all shades of red, orange, yellow and purple. Wildlife and people get ready for the winter. The Ptarmigan spends fall's shortening days eating plants and berries in a hurry. Like all wildlife that winters in Nunavik, it is fattening up for the hardship ahead.
