CBC
Two people who were missing between Cambridge Bay and Kugluktuk, Nunavut, have been found alive after 10 days.
Angulalik Pedersen, a ground search and rescue co-ordinator leading the search from Cambridge Bay, told CBC News they were found on Wednesday.
Pedersen said they were found around Parry Bay, on the Kent Peninsula, outside of Cambridge Bay.
The two went missing while travelling to a cabin between the two communities to meet up with family.
As of late Wednesday afternoon, a plane was on the ground to pick them up, Pedersen said.
Pedersen said the two individuals had been travelling on one snowmobile with a sled in tow. He said the pair are very experienced on the land and one of the individuals, who is now in his 50s, has been travelling the route since he was a child.
Local search and rescue volunteers from Kugluktuk and Cambridge Bay have been searching for the pair for days.
Pederson said the pair will be brought back to Cambridge Bay today.
