Heather here, reporting for Marshall Ulrich who is on the impossible2Possible (i2P) Baffin Island expedition with Ray Zahab, the youth ambassadors, and the rest of the team. Go to the expedition Web site to follow along http://www.impossible2possible.com/world/. The first blogs have been posted, and you can review Module 1 of the educational program.
The group left Ottawa this morning for Iqaluit. Ray reports that the flight went well saying, “As we descended over Nunavut the rugged landscape came into view. It looked spectacular!” Marshall called from Iqaluit where they had a bit more time than originally planned, which they put to good use touring the town. This evening Marshall called again as they were boarding a flight straight to Qikiqtarjuaq (Qik), where they should be resting well at their camp. Tomorrow the real journey begins.
The i2P group will be following the Akshayuk Pass across Baffin Island’s Cumberland Peninsula. The expedition starts in the remote Inuit community of Qik and will finish in Pangnirtung on the southern coast of the Cumberland Peninsula. Marshall was very excited to actually be on the way!
Be sure to follow along here and on the i2P site.
