Arctic hamlet Cambridge Bay is in Nunavut, on Victoria Island. Population ~1,760 (2021). Current focus: Arctic ice protection tests amid melting seas.
Researchers funded by the UK government report that pumping seawater onto Arctic ice in Cambridge Bay thickened the surface ice by about 50 cm, offering early signs that refreezing could slow summer melt. The effort, part of Real Ice, is being monitored for long-term impacts on temperature and wildlife.
