The Takuvik team recently completed Wilderness & Remote First Aid (WRFA) training, in order to be prepared for the conditions of a remote ice camp located 30 km away from the Inuit community of Qikiqtarjuaq, where we are going to conduct our Green Edge Project research campaigns. Frostbite and hypothermia will be the main risks to be avoided.
Since the beginning of Green Edge, a very particular boat has been collaborating with the scientific research team studying the algal bloom near Qikiqtarjuaq, Baffin Island (Nunavut, Canada). It is the Vagabond, an expedition yacht designed to sail in icy waters.
