What was supposed to be a week spent studying whales became a lesson in Arctic survival for 10 high school students from Baffin Island, N.W.T. stranded on a sheet of break-away ice.
The high school biology students, along with three Elders, a science teacher, an eight-year-old child and a hunter, were trapped when the sea ice they were traveling on broke free at the tip of Baffin Island and drifted into Lancaster Sound.
