Dangers & annoyances

During summer it’s full-on war with relentless mosquitoes and blackflies. Pack bug spray with at least 30% DEET (98% if you can). Head-nets are a wise investment, but they’re often sold out in town. You will get bitten, it’s impossible not to, but it really isn’t that bad, just itchy.

Getting bitten by a polar bear is much worse; their season is during the cooler months, when bugs aren’t an issue.
