I’m here on Summerset Island Nunavut
located about 500 miles above the Arctic
Circle and this is my office I love this
place it’s a harsh land but it’s great
land
it’s not always easy if you can brave
the snow the ice and the cold
temperatures will you’re going to get
amazing rewards
I’m here to photo identify beluga whales
they actually congregate right behind me
here approximately two thousand beluga
whales come here every summer to hold
their skin socialize raise their young
and it’s just a big Beluga party
and hopefully with my photo
identification we can identify the
whales which returned to Somerset Island
every year and the patterns in and out
of the bay this is important because the
Northwest Passage is opening up and
there will be poor ship traffic and
special places like this will be here
forever so it’s important we study these
whales and make sure they’re safe
I was good fun yep
