Tourists stranded on ice floe 12 kilometers from land in Canada's Arctic zone
  • 11 years ago
Twenty tourists are stranded on an ice floe, 12 kilometres from the Arctic Canadian coast in Admiralty Inlet.

Emergency provisions including large life rafts were air dropped to the group as wild weather conditions continued to complicate rescue efforts. The 50 kilometre block of ice had become detached from the mainland, causing the tourists to become stranded. Further away in Admiralty Inlet, a group of ten hunters were also caught on an ice floe. This floe came close to shore again and the hunters were able to return to land.
