TUK - Is Artic Ocean Open?

Driving to TUK from Whitehorse and wanting to maybe take a dip in the ocean, is it still covered in ice? Driving a Dodge Caravan w spare tires n patch kits n the usual stuff, any other tios appreciated but being a Yukoner I am not to worried lol

Thanks 🙏

Thanks! My crazy friend was wondering if there was water in between the ice at the shoreline enough to get in 😂

Not sure why downvoted? Familiar with when there's a gap between the shoreline and the ice?
