Canadian Iconography: An inuksuk, or stone cairn, was chosen as the official symbol of the 2010 Winter Olympics when they were held in Canada. They dot the Canadian Arctic, and some are shaped like human beings. In the relatively featureless landscapes of the polar fringe, monuments like this serve as landmarks and as navigation aids: appropriate metaphors for a journey into Second Life. In fact, this could be an avatar! Dunham Cemetery. [2011]
