Lost in the Frost: Inuit Legendary Creatures of the Arctic

Melissa Stefanie

Bundle up! We're heading to the arctic (not really) to learn of some creatures of Inuit legends that haunt and hunt way up North (def not Santa or Rudolph). These stories tell of spirits, demons and serpent creatures that you definitely don't want to meet should you find yourself on the frozen tundra. The shape-shifting Ijiraq may disorient you and steal your children, the Mahaha will be Mahaha-ing all the way through tickling you to death with its icy claws, and the Pal-Rai-Yuk's favorite thing to do is swipe humans off their boats and docks along the cold Bering Sea. The tundra can be scary! And Inuit legends definitely have a colorful way of warning people about the dangers and unpredictability of the freezing, unforgiving Arctic in the winter. 

This week, we're drinking Smirnoff Ice Red, White and Merry Holiday Punch
