Published by The Arctic Circle Ottawa, Ontario Twenty-sixth Meeting of the Aretic Circle The Twenty-sixth Meeting of the Arctic Cirale was held in the lst. Corps Troops R.C.A.S.C. Mess, 278 Sparks Street, on Thursday February 8. The President, Mr. Frank Davies, was in the Chair and introduced the speaker, FIL K.R. Greenaway. FIL Greenaway spoke on "Navigating ln the Polar Regions", and illustrated his talk with slides. Voyage round Cornwallis Island. By Trevor Harwood Since the war, the Geological Survey has undertaken a programme' of reconnaissance mapping of the Northwest Territories. For the purpose of this programme the area has been dlvided into two parts; work on the Arctic mainland ls directed by Dr. C.S. Lord, and on the Arctic Islands by Dr. Y.O. Fortier. It was planned that the mapping of the Arctlc Islands would begin in the eastern Islands and would progress northwestward to the Arctic Ocean. Prior to the sUIDmer of 1950 Dr. Fortier had carried out geological work in southern Baffin Island and had made reconnaissance atudies in Victoria and King Vlilliam Islands. ln 1950 he decided to map the geology of Cornwallis Island. The chief problem was that of transportation. As a helicopter was out of the question at the time, the choice lay between a boat or a canoe. A number of experts advised against the idea of water transport, saying that ice conditions were auch that the use of small craft would be impossible. However, Dr. Fortier was unwilling to accept this, and with the encouragement of myself and others we decided to circumnavigate the island in a 22-foot freight canoe with a 5 H.P. outboard. .
