Breaking ice on Great Slave Lake

It turns out that the end of May is a little too early to start paddling on Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories.  Ice stretched to the horizon and much of our time was spent wading and dragging the canoe through shallow open water and pushing, prying, and breaking our way through the candle ice. It was sort of fun for a few days, but mostly it was a lot of work.
