Ezra Manson, 16, left his home in Vancouver, Canada, to explore the Arctic.
The teenager is one of 79 students that is taking part in an expedition with 35 scientists, historians and polar experts, traveling from Ottawa to the northern reaches of Nunavik and the eastern Baddin Island, according to The Province.
“I’m really looking forward to seeing how the Inuit people’s daily life has changed due to climate change,” Manson said to the news source. “The elders that will be coming with us will definitely have some first-hand knowledge of how the Arctic’s changed throughout their lifetime.”
While on the trip, Manson will be keeping a blog about his adventures, according to the news source. The ship-based journey will allow participants to encounter wildlife, including whales, seals, polar bears and seabirds while also participating in educational and research activities.
Taking a cruise ship around the Arctic is one of the best ways to travel around the area. Watch the beautiful scenery pass you by and discover the history of the people that live in the vast region.
