Kayla Bruce, a student at Rankin Inlet’s Maani Ulujuk School, and Karine Martel, a student from Manitoba, model survival suits on board the research icebreaker Amundsen, which sailed out of Iqaluit Aug. 2 for a 10-day voyage through the Northwest Passage to Kugluktuk. The two are participants in the vessel’s “Schools on Board” program, which offers a dozen students and teachers a chance to learn more about science. (PHOTO BY JANE GEORGE)
