Summary

On Emma's last morning in the Arctic, Aputik and Daniel take her on one final adventure – a snowmobile ride out onto the frozen sea ice of Frobisher Bay for a traditional Inuit picnic!

As Emma sips hot tea and tries frozen raw caribou dipped in soy sauce, Daniel explains the flow edge – where currents keep the water open year-round, creating vital hunting grounds for seals. But he also shares how climate change is transforming the North.

Join Emma as her Arctic journey comes to an emotional close. She arrived thinking she knew what conservation meant – and leaves understanding that Inuit have been the true stewards of this land for thousands of years, with so much to teach us all.

Thank you for following Emma's journey through the Arctic. We hope you learned as much as she did about Inuit culture, traditional knowledge and what conservation really means.
