Museum hubs, including the Royal BC Museum in Victoria and the Vancouver Aquarium, will feature the dive as part of ongoing C3 expedition coverage as a Canadian research icebreaker travels from Toronto to Victoria on 150-day journey via the Northwest Passage.

Irvine and Gauthier will continue posting updates of the expedition for the two weeks following the dive.

B次元官网网址淭he Arctic is the next frontier B次元官网网址 there is so little we know and it is changing so fast,B次元官网网址 Gauthier said in a press release. B次元官网网址淭he window into this part of our country will give all Canadians the opportunity to connect, learn and interact with the Arctic environment, Inuit culture and cutting-edge research.B次元官网网址

The English broadcast begins Aug. 27 at 11 a.m., followed by a broadcast in French at 1 p.m.
