How a man and a boy survived for days lost in an Arctic blizzard with no supplies


Paul Sr. Qulitalik says he "had a rough week," but he's grateful to be alive after spending four nights lost in an Arctic blizzard. Qulitalik Sr., who's in his 20s, set out from Igloolik for his home community of Hall Beach, Nunavut, on a snowmobile, with his 13-year-old cousin Mark Qulitalik. They attempted to walk to Hall Beach at one point, but had to turn back to the shelter because of the blizzard, he said. 'Thank God we survived'Late into Thursday night, Qulitalik Sr. and Mark were found just a few kilometres west of Hall Beach, walking toward the community. Qulitalik Sr. was treated for frostbite on his thumb at a local health centre, meanwhile the younger Qulitalik, in good condition, was taken back to Igloolik to be with his family.
