The Snowmobile, an<br />
Essential Mode of Transportation<br />
for Canadian Rangers<br />
Intense cold, blizzards, rough terrain, nothing can stop the High<br />
Arctic sentinels and their snowmobiles through deserts of ice to<br />
rescue people.<br />

April 12, 2013. I am with the adjutant Marc Lavoie, trainer and instructor<br />
with the Second Canadian Ranger Patrol Group. The meeting place<br />
with the High Arctic sentinels is<br />
scheduled for 10:00 AM in front<br />
of the cooperative in Ivujivik.<br />
I watch the famous Rangers<br />
arriving with their snowmobiles<br />
from every corner of the community.<br />
They proudly wear their red<br />
flag showing the Rangers badge.<br />
The Rangers mission is quite<br />
broad. They must participate in<br />
search and rescue operations and<br />
monitor territories such as the<br />
coveted Northwest Passage and<br />
many other areas. The Rangers<br />
hitched qamutiks behind their snowmobiles with several items such<br />
as tents, blankets, jerry cans of gasoline, and food, among other things<br />
