Please note, fog is a very common occurrence in Cape Dorset in the summer and early fall. It is imperative that you leave yourself a buffer at the end of your trip to allow for delays (sometimes a day or two, not just hours). Trip cancellation and interruption insurance that covers weather delays is critical.
