Today is the final day of the Students on Ice 2019 Arctic Expedition.

This two-week, 4074km journey brought together 130 students, from 18 countries, including every circumpolar nation to connect to nature, to their peers, to new knowledge and perspectives across key topics including climate change, ocean literacy, healthy communities, sustainable development goals and the blue economy, and to a greater sense of self and their goals for the future.

Guided by a team of scientists, elders, artists, historians and visionary leaders they were challenged, inspired and empowered. Here is a recap of their journey.

During this SOI Arctic 2019 expedition landing students were asked, "What do you think will happen to plants in the Arctic as a result of climate change?" Hear what they have to say followed by insights from Inuit elder Pitsiulaaq Akavak and Canadian Museum of Nature scientist Roger Bull.
