Follow the Manitoba Museum's own Mike Jensen as he participates in the 2016 Students On Ice Arctic Expedition. This is Mike's 8th summer as an Polar Educator with SOI. This year's itinerary takes them from the north coast of Quebec, up the east coast of Baffin Island, and across to the west coast of Greenland.

Day 0 - Ottawa
Welcome to day 0 of my Arctic adventure! Today was technically a staff orientation day, so there really isn’t too much to report. Lots of meetings, information and a trip to a Mexicali Rosa’s for dinner took up most of the day. But already there are 15 students in residence, mostly from Nunavut. Already conducted our first bed-check, although the students are so exhausted, most were already asleep. Tomorrow, the rest of the students arrive and I hope to be involved in meeting them all! Amelia Earhart once said “Adventure is worthwhile”. I can’t think of a better way to end my first entry on the road. Let the adventure… begin!
