Wooden Sidewalks - Aklavik Northwest Territories

With wooden sidewalks, it seems like a time in Aklavik has stood still.

The gravel roads are built up on the permafrost and have wooden sidewalks for pedestrians on each side at most places. During spring runoff when the ground is still frozen, water pools either on the roads or on adjacent properties.
