Arctic Spring

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Twenty-four-hour daylight ... children playing outside until three in the morning
... parents frantic for sleep .. long hunting trips over the frozen sea. The return of the sun after the perpetual night of winter is a cause for celebration - and upheaval - for communities all around the Arctic Circle. Last year, Margaret Horsfield visited Pond Inlet, a tiny hamlet at the northern tip of Canada's Baffin
Island, as the inhabitants were making the annual adjustment. She recalls the sights and sounds of spring and describes her travels around the community and on a camping expedition far out over the snow and ice. Producer PETER WINDOWS BBC Birmingham
