Tallurutiup Imanga to Greenland

Overview

This expedition will bring together a diverse group of eight youth (aged 18-30) from across Canada on a journey that begins in Qausuittuq (Resolute) Nunavut, and voyages into the Tallurutiup Imanga National Marine Conservation Area before crossing the Davis Strait and visiting the Ilulissat Ice fjord of Greenland. The expedition will also visit the Devon Island Ice Cap, Beechey Island, Mittimatalik (Pond Inlet) and more.

Our floating home and classroom will be the MV Ocean Endeavour. Every day, our team will have unique and inspiring hands-on experiences that dive deep into culture, climate change, ocean conservation, biodiversity, history, and more. Youth will participate in Zodiac excursions, one-the-land activities, and shore workshops.
