SOI Expedition Headquarters, Gatineau, Quebec

We had a fabulous Welcome Back event at the Canadian Museum of Nature this morning! Thanks again to our partners and to all who attended or helped out. The speeches were inspiring and emotional, providing a fitting end to a journey that none of us will soon forget.

Many powerful stories were shared about the expedition and about hopes and dreams in the students' post-expedition lives. From strangers two weeks ago to friends today, it was evident to all that this team has shared a truly unique experience and forged a bond that will connect them throughout their lives. It has been a fantastic expedition and we at Students on Ice are excited to watch these remarkable students carry this experience into the next phase of their lives!

Keep coming back to this web site in the coming days as we will be posting more photos, video, media coverage and post -journey updates! To our expeditioners, stay in touch with SOI! You are now part of an exceptional group of SOI alumni, which spans 50 countries around the world. We want to hear all about your future endeavours and adventures!
