Need for speed

George Kauki is the winner of the men’s division of Kuujjuaq’s annual Easter Cross-Country Snowmobile Race held on Monday. He’s seen here approaching the finish line at Tasialuk (Stewart Lake), after racing to Tasiujaq and back, covering just over 250 km. He’s followed by a Nunavik Rotors helicopter, which patrolled the trail for safety during the race, with a nurse onboard in case of emergencies. (Photo by Isabelle Dubois)
