Cape Farewell Youth Expedition 2008: Iceland, Greenland, Baffin Island

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

In September of 2008, myself and 27 other students from Canada and around the world journeyed aboard a Russian research vessel sailing from Iceland to Greenland to Baffin Island studying the effects of climate change.

The voyage was organized and sponsored by the British Council Canada and is the second youth expedition to take place. The Cape Farewell project started with numerous adult expeditions and was the brainchild of British artist and filmmaker, David Buckland.

Before this voyage, I was interested in climate change, but not passionate. Almost needless to say is the fact that that has completely changed.

Check out the landscapes and the people that completely changed my life at www.capefarewellcanada.ca - there you can also read the blogs of the 28 voyagers, read our bios, watch our video reports, and view photos from the expedition.
