Little mosque on the permafrost

For a few precarious moments, the little mosque on the tundra was nearly the little mosque in the creek.

The prefab structure, built in Winnipeg and bound for Inuvik, teetered to one side of a flatbed as two trucks inched it over a narrow bridge near the boundary of Alberta and the Northwest Territories. That’s when a nearby construction crew arrived to even out the load and spirit the mosque safely across.
