In Canada’s North, Canadian Rangers teach NATO troops how to survive in extreme cold weather. Master Corporal Dinos Tikivik of the 1st Canadian Ranger Patrol Group explains the mind-set needed to survive in the High Arctic. Canada’s Operation NANOOK-NUNALIVUT 2019 took place in northern Canada between 17 March and 1 April 2019. Around 500 personnel tested their Arctic survival skills and logistics including long-range patrols, ice diving and creating landing strips on the sea ice. Five NATO Allies – Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Norway and the United States – are Arctic states, and Allies regularly work to improve their ability to operate in cold weather.
