“The permafrost has changed and it is noticeable. There are some areas that are eroding and there are some areas that are drying up.”

“It is much warmer now, even in winter. It used to be really cold in January and December but it is not so cold now. The temperature has changed. “

“It is windier now and the change in the ice and water is faster now, it is a lot warmer now.”

“There is a big change of the sea, water and ice than a few years ago; it melts a lot faster now. I have been thinking that the sea water is warmer now…The ice melts through the bottom of the ice, and for that reason I have been thinking that the sea is getting warmer…”

“The snow drifts have changed…When we try and follow the snowdrifts that were caused by north wind we tend to go further south…”

“The weather is totally different now…I have noticed a lot of frozen rivers (sirmiliit) had melted that I used to see. The frozen rivers are still melting and quite far from the sea now.”

“I have noticed the ice condition has changed, sometimes it takes longer for the ice to form…”

“I have realized today in our community there is a lot more soft snow and deep snow, but today in Pond the ice to me seems to be different than it did in the past.”

“The wind seems to be less consistent in its origin and can now blow from anywhere. It has winds that are shiftier and the wind comes from anywhere now. The wind seems to have no prevailing direction as it comes and goes.”

“In respect to the snowfall, it is noticeable that there is less snowfall occurring than in the past. If I were to cite an example, the sea ice here used to have more snow cover and these days it has hardly any snow cover.”
