We are saddened to hear that our friend and colleague Mishak Allurut passed away on July 13. Mishak was a keen ice observer, a research champion, and was especially interested in having science augment Inuit Knowledge. He was a strong supporter and collaborator for the Landfast Ice Breakup project. We were just getting started getting to know him and learn from him!  We send our condolences to his family and friends in Ikpiarjuk and beyond.
