The Canadian army recently completed a historic 3,320-mile Arctic patrol in northern Manitoba, marking the largest mission ever undertaken by the Canadian Rangers. This two-month-long journey, part of Operation Nanook-Nunalivut, aimed to strengthen Canada’s military presence in the Arctic. The Rangers navigated through ice-covered terrain on snowmobiles and camped in temperatures as low as -60°C, following a route that hadn’t been attempted in 80 years. The BBC joined the Rangers for the final leg of their journey from Nunavut to Manitoba, capturing the conclusion of this challenging military operation.
