Industry seismic reflection profiles show that the Scott Inlet Graben is the southern end of an elongated basin (200-300 km by 25- 50 km wide) extending to the northwest along the Baffin Margin – now named Scott Inlet Basin – which contains up to 6 km of Mesozoic and Cenozoic strata. The seismic data define the outer edge of the Scott Inlet Basin; however, the landward edge is largely unknown and may locally outcrop onshore. Recent multibeam bathymetry data have been collected over the Scott Inlet Seep location as part of the ARCTICNET Research Program to study benthic habitats and geohazards in the Canadian Arctic waterways.

  • Stefan Glowacz on Baffin Island at the End of the World by Stefan Glowacz
    Stefan Glowacz on Baffin Island At the End of the World By Stefan Glowacz and Tom Dauer May 15th 2008 Actually, we should have been content, happy even. For days we had been climbing on this wall that rose 700 meters from the ice. For days our world had been tilted vertical. For days we had laboured, suffered, feared and hoped. Until we had reached the highest point of the “Bastions”, a granite tower on the east coast of Baffin Island. The wind had lulled as we sat in the sun on the summit plateau. No human had been here before us. No one had yet looked out from here over the Buchan Gulf, over the Cambridge and the Quernbiter Fjord, and the Icy Arm. In the east, the flow edge marked the boundary between the ice pack and the open sea. And further out, beyond the Baffin Bay, lay Greenland. For more than an hour we enjoyed the view, the peace. Then we started to rappel down to base. Actually, a load should have fallen from our shoulders now. But Klaus Fengler, Holger Heuber, Mariusz Hoffmann, Robert Jasper and I knew very well that our lives would be depending on a shattering fundament. We had no more than 20 days to reach Clyde River, 350 kilometres away, each of us lugging a 75-kilogram pulka over melting ice. Four Weeks Earlier Looking out the window of the small Twin Otter, I felt like staring into a giant freezer and I realized that you can’t only feel the cold, but you can also see it.

The word “Nunavut” means “Our Land” in Inuktut, the language of the Inuit, who represent 85 per cent of Nunavut’s resident’s. The creation of Nunavut as Canada’s third territory had its origins in a desire by Inuit got more say in their future. The first formal presentation of the idea – The Nunavut Proposal – was made to Ottawa in 1976. More than two decades later, in February 1999, Nunavut’s first 19 Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) were elected to a five year term. Shortly after, those MLAs chose one of their own, lawyer Paul Okalik, to be the first Premier. The resulting government is a public one; all may vote - Inuit and non-Inuit, but the outcomes reflect Inuit values.
