CANDAC Student-Researchers Atmospheric Collaboration

CANDAC (Canadian Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Change) researchers have teamed up with students and staff at schools in Ontario and Nunavut to launch a new project that encourages young people to become active researchers who monitor atmospheric conditions using scientific instruments at their school. Researchers and students work together to gather, compare and analyse data to better understand the current state of Earth's dynamic atmosphere.

Photos of Igloolik

We had the chance to walk around Igloolik a bit this afternoon and thought that we would share some photos. According to Environment Canada it was -24C and -33 with the windchill, so we bundled up in our parkas and snow pants.

We are staying at the Igloolik Inn, which is only a few minutes walk from Attaguttaaluk Elementary School.

The Igloolik Research Station is owned and operated by the Department of Environment of the Government of Nunavut. Researchers mainly study terrestrial wildlife and their habitats.

The radio station building across the street from our hotel is painted with beautiful and colourful artwork.
