Annual Students On Ice trip kicks off this week in Iqaluit | WWF-Canada Blog

[July 30, 2012] In just a few days, I am going to be joining 80 high-school students and 34 other field staff on the Students on Ice Arctic Youth Expedition. Together we will be learning first-hand about climate change, seeing it with our own eyes, and surely coming home with new friendships and an expanded perspective of the urgency of action.

I am lucky enough to be representing WWF on the expedition, along with 3 incredible young women that WWF is sponsoring from Nunuvut, Greenland, and the Northwest Territories.
