groups from more than 40 Canadian and international universities or government

on Cornwallis Island in the eastern Arctic and at Tuktoyaktuk on the coast
of the Beaufort Sea in the western Arctic serve as staging areas for research

sea ice - from the borders of Alaska and Greenland, up to the North Pole. |
