Just noticed a Friday news release from Fisheries and Oceans Canada, that the Canadian Coast Guard Ship Des Groseilliers arrived back in its home port of Quebec City after four months in the Canadian Arctic.

Besides bringing fuel and goods to northern communities, the release mentioned that 75 students from the Students on Ice program were on board.

It reminded me of one of our first video submissions that Eye on the Arctic received when we were starting up – a report on Students on Ice from the Inuit Broadcasting Corporation’s youth show Qaujisaut (To See, To Find Out).
