Adventure guide Renée-Claude Bastien used a drone to snap this photo during the Nurrait Jeunes Karibus expedition in Ivujivik, which took place from April 14 to 19. The Nunavik-based youth program organizes several on-the-land activities for young people across the region. According to Hugo Dufresne, the organization’s general manager, this past winter was the first since before the COVID-19-pandemic that Jeunes Karibus was able to organize major on-the-land experiences.
