Sikumiut – People of the Ice

2021-06-23 - At the centre of this work is Canada's RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) satellite product from April 18, 2021, offering a view of Sanikiluaq, one of these Inuit communities found nestled at the north end of the Belcher Islands.

We challenged 13 organizations from across the country to create stunning satellite images that showcase the natural beauty of a region in each of Canada's territories and provinces — not a typical order for companies used to treating satellite data for scientific or commercial use.
