May 1 - 3, 2020

Dr. Hester Jiskoot is a keen glaciologist and a keen sailor. In summer 2019, she combined the two passions during the successful attempt of the Tecla, a historic two-mast sailing ship, to traverse the Northwest Passage from Ilulissat, West Greenland, to Nome, Alaska. After crossing Baffin Bay, the ship continued along the inlets, sounds and straits of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago to the Beaufort Sea, Chukchi Sea and Bering Strait. The vessel moored in the settlement harbours of Pond Inlet, Taloyoak, Gjoa Haven, Cambridge Bay and Herschel Island.

Join us on Friday, February 28, 2020, as Dr. Hester Jiskoot, Associate Professor of Physical Geography and Glaciology, presents her talk WATCH FOR ICE: Sailing the Northwest Passage on a 1915 gaff-rigged ketch.
