GJOA HAVEN, Nunavut — An international team has recovered a submerged truck from remote Arctic waters using divers, airbags and a helicopter.
The long-planned recovery mission of the Ford-150, which fell through the ice near the Tasmania Islands in Nunavut five months ago, took place over three days. Specialized divers from Iceland attached airbags to the truck and towed it to shore, where it was airlifted by helicopter to Gjoa Haven, Nvt., about 300 kilometres away, on Sunday.We deliver the local news you need in these turbulent times on weekdays at 3 p.m.
