Post 2 of 4 | The community of Pond Inlet prays and prepares for the feast laid out before them. Some of this food is local, some has been traded from other communities, and the tuktu (caribou) came from a special hunt that took almost two weeks. In a few moments, everyone will rush…

Out on the ice
(Post 1 of 3) Out on the ice! I’m driving, Eric’s photographing and Andrew Arreak is leading the way. We’re headed west from Pond Inlet, out past some gorgeous icebergs in pursuit of science. The qamutik ahead of us is pulling a device that measures sea ice thickness. This is information that the community wants,…

(Post 2 of 3) Andrew Arreak takes a break from towing his research sled which measures sea ice thickness. he equipment behind him has been functioning but finicky so far.
