As a part of the Green Edge Project, we have established a solid connection with the Inuit community of Qikiqtarjuaq (Broughton Island), located on Baffin Island in the Canadian territory of Nunavut. With the aim of involving the communities in the initiative as well as approaching their way of life, we started learning the Inuktitut language.
The Takuvik Team is getting ready for the 2016 ice camp, testing the new airboatthat will be used during the ice breakup when the ice will be too inconsistent for travel by snowmobile.
The scientists who go on the ice camp have been trained and initiated on how to drive snowmobile. Our team learned how to drive in different conditions and the instructors exposed them to realistic, yet difficult situations.
