It is anticipated there will be 12 guests as well as 10 crew members, 1 Ice Navigator (Captain Alexander Golubev) and 1 Expedition Guide (Tim Soper). Expedition Management is provided by EYOS Expeditions Ltd. (www.eyos- expeditions.com) Contact person: Victoria Wheatley, email: [email protected] Project duration is anticipated to be for 32 days, from 28 July 2017 to 27 August 2017. Yacht itineraries are always variable, subject to change based on ice, weather and other conditions so the duration could vary somewhat. Equipment includes the following: MY ARCHIMEDES – motor yacht Quantity: 1 Proposed use: Vessel providing transportation and accommodations Fuel: Diesel 7 main tanks / 2 day/service tanks Storage Methods of Fuel: Built-in fuel tanks of the vessel Tenders and Jet Skis (1 Mark V Zodiac, 1 Nouvarania RIB, 1 Chase Nouvarania, 1 Chris Craft, 1 SOLAS MOB Boat and 2 Jet Skis Quantity: As noted above Proposed use: Tenders used for transport between yacht and shore, for sightseeing in remote areas and for recreation (in areas away from wildlife); jet skis used for recreation (in areas away from wildlife) Fuel: 40 X 20 litre gasoline containers Storage Methods of fuel: Containers stored on deck. Kayaks Quantity: 8 (for 11 kayakers) Proposed use: Recreational use (in areas away from wildlife) The yacht will be arriving into Pond Inlet, south of Bylot Island Migratory Bird Sanctuary – but there is no intention to visit this site. She will then sail to North Baffin fjords then towards Milne Inlet. She will then reposition north towards Ellesmere Island near the settlement of Grise Fjord and Nirjutiqavvik National Wildlife Area (permit application made through CWS). The yacht will then turn south and sail along the coast of South Devon Island towards Resolute. As it sails south it may visit Prince Leopold Island Migratory Bird Sanctuary (permit application made with CWS) If ice conditions allow the vessel may transit Bellot Strait and aim to visit Gjoa Haven and possibly Cambridge Bay, passing by Queen Maud Gulf Migratory Bird Sanctuary -- but there is no intention to visit this site. The following were contacted by letter on 12 April 2017 to provide an introduction and overview on the planned activity: Economic Development Officers and Hunters and Trappers Organizations of Pond Inlet, Resolute, Gjoa Haven, Cambridge Bay and the Qikitani and Kitikmeot Inuit Associations. Where applicable, permit and license applications have or will be submitted to the appropriate authorities and will be carried on board. Applications include: - Prince Leopold Island Migratory Bird Sanctuary Entry Permit with Canadian Wildlife Service - Nirjutiqavvik National Wildlife Area (Coburg Island) Entry Permit with Canadian Wildlife Service - Class 1 Archaeology Permit with the Department of Culture and Heritage - Wildlife Observation License with the Department of Environment - Qikiqtani Land Use License with the Qikiqtani Inuit Association - Kitikmeot Land Use License with the Kitikmeot Inuit Association (*pending advice from the KIA) Transportation to and from the yacht will be arranged using Nunavut-based air services wherever possible, and local services and guides will be employed when visiting communities. No structures will be erected (permanent/temporary), including camps and associated structures, docks, piers and/or airstrips to support the proposed tourism activity. The vessel’s Zodiac will be used for making shore landings in wilderness areas. The Captain or Ice Navigator will make appropriate arrangements in areas where docks or piers are available for use. Landings in wilderness areas will be of short duration and remain in coastal areas, managed by the Expedition Guide. Guests and any crew landing will be informed in advance of the importance of sites to be visited and that archaeological and historical sites are not to be disturbed in any way. Site and community visits will follow the Association of Arctic Expedition Cruise Operators (AECO) "Guidelines for Visitors to the Arctic," which cover points dealing with environmental, safety and cultural and social interaction to conduct respectful, environmentally friendly and safe tourism. The voyage will also adhere to the AECO "Biosecurity Guidelines for Visitors." Both guidelines are available at www.aeco.no. The voyages will also follow the Government of Nunavut "Welcoming Visitors to Nunavut" Guidelines and the "Code of Conduct for Operators in Nunavut" as provided by Cruise Nunavut. A detailed operations plan has been compiled to evaluate environmental aspects of the planned activity and to ensure compliance with requirements under Canadian legislation. Operations have been planned to be fully self-sufficient, with activities managed by experienced personnel and to be within the search and rescue capability of the yacht, including for medical evacuation. It is anticipated that the environmental impact resulting from the planned activity will be less than minor or transitory in nature. Additional information of an environmental nature may be found in the Project Description & Environmental Impact Statement, which has been included as a Project Document to the NPC (file #148568) and the NIRB (file #17TN057).

  • Canadian Arctic Tide Measurement Techniques and Results
    International Hydrographie Review, Monaco, LXIII (2), July 1986 CANADIAN ARCTIC TIDE MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES AND RESULTS by B.J. TAIT, S.T. GRANT, D. St.-JACQUES and F. STEPHENSON (*) ABSTRACT About 10 years ago the Canadian Hydrographic Service recognized the need for a planned approach to completing tide and current surveys of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago in order to meet the requirements of marine shipping and construction industries as well as the needs of environmental studies related to resource development. Therefore, a program of tidal surveys was begun which has resulted in a data base of tidal records covering most of the Archipelago. In this paper the problems faced by tidal surveyors and others working in the harsh Arctic environment are described and the variety of equipment and techniques developed for short, medium and long-term deployments are reported. The tidal characteris­ tics throughout the Archipelago, determined primarily from these surveys, are briefly summarized. It was also recognized that there would be a need for real time tidal data by engineers, surveyors and mariners. Since the existing permanent tide gauges in the Arctic do not have this capability, a project was started in the early 1980’s to develop and construct a new permanent gauging system. The first of these gauges was constructed during the summer of 1985 and is described. INTRODUCTION The Canadian Arctic Archipelago shown in Figure 1 is a large group of islands north of the mainland of Canada bounded on the west by the Beaufort Sea, on the north by the Arctic Ocean and on the east by Davis Strait, Baffin Bay and Greenland and split through the middle by Parry Channel which constitutes most of the famous North West Passage.

  • The Use of Dog Sledges During the British Search for the Missing Franklin Expedition in the North American Arctic Islands, 1848–59 WILLIAM BARR1
    ARCTIC VOL. 62, NO. 3 (SEPTEMBER 2009) P. 257–272 The Use of Dog Sledges during the British Search for the Missing Franklin Expedition in the North American Arctic Islands, 1848–59 WILLIAM BARR1 (Received 4 September 2008; accepted in revised form 17 October 2008) ABSTRACT. While the bulk of the searching parties sent out from the British ships deployed on the search for the missing Franklin expedition in the North American Arctic Islands over the period 1848–59 employed man-hauled sledges, dog sledges were also used quite extensively. The dog sledges were especially (but not exclusively) used as “couriers,” that is, for communi- cation between the various wintering ships, where speed was the primary requirement. The total distance covered by dog sledges (excluding short hauls in the vicinity of the wintering ships) was, at a minimum, 11 576 km; this distance compares with the minimum 41 555 km covered by man-hauled sledges. Key words: dog sledges, Franklin search expeditions, North American Arctic Islands RÉSUMÉ. Bien que la plupart des équipes de recherche déployées par les navires britanniques à la recherche de l’expédition de Franklin disparue dans l’archipel Arctique nord-américain pendant la période de 1848–1859 se soient servi de traîneaux tirés par des humains, elles ont également employé des traîneaux à chiens à maintes reprises. Les traîneaux à chiens servaient plus particulièrement (mais non pas exclusivement) de « messagers » en ce sens qu’ils établissaient les liens de communication entre les divers navires en hivernage, la rapidité de transmission étant essentielle. La distance totale à avoir été parcourue par les traîneaux à chiens (ce qui ne comprend pas les courtes distances dans la région des navires en hivernage) s’est chiffrée, au minimum, à 11 576 kilomètres, comparativement à la distance minimale de 41 555 kilomètres parcourue par les traîneaux tirés par des humains.

  • Inuit Contact and Colonization Readings
    Inuit Contact and Colonization Readings Canada’s Eastern Arctic:Its history, resources, population and administration, pp. 81- 83 SEA MAMMALS The sea mammals of this region are divided into two distinct grounds (1), the Cetaceans (Whales and Porpoises), which although air-breathing mammals are adapted to a strictly aquatic life; and (2) the Pinnipeds (Seals and Walruses), which derive their food from the water, and spend the greater part of their life in the water although they spend much time out of water resting upon ice floes or upon rocks or sandy beaches. The Pinnipeds as a whole are fairly well known, although the ranges of some of the rarer species are not fully known. As the sea mammals are essentially the same from the northern to southern limits of the region covered in this paper, they will all be treated in one section. CETACEA (WHALES AND PORPOISES) A few species of Cetaceans are fairly well known on account of being the largest of living animals, and having been the object of the important commercial whale fishery for hundreds of years, as well as an important element in the food and fuel supply of certain of the Eskimo tribes from remote antiquity. Lists of the Cetaceans found on any coast are difficult to compile for various reasons, including the amount of sea room allowed, or distance allowed from the shores in question. We find deplorable scarcity of authentic records except for the more important varieties. From the nature of their habits, sight records of the rarer species are uncertain, and the size of the animals prevents most specimens which are captured or stranded from being preserved or studied by competent observers.
