On the occasion of my second trip back to the Arctic this year I was focused on the new frontier of research in the North. At the heart of this narrative is Polar Knowledge Canada‘s Canadian High Arctic Research Station campus (CHARS) and its appreciation of Inuit knowledge. This collaboration could be key for research to find a novel dimension. Below is a photographic diary of my experiences.
Watch for more photography and news about the CHARS campus in the July/August 2017 issue of Canadian Geographic magazine.
