Colin Bates, a Life Sciences tutor at Quest, has just arrived back from the Canadian Arctic, where he was participating in the Victoria Strait Expedition, a search for the Franklin Expedition’s lost ships. This historic moment in time has spread rapidly over the news in the past month.
Colin Bates participation was through an organization that conducts Arctic and Antarctic expeditions, One Ocean Expeditions, a local Squamish expedition company. Colin worked as a Naturalist Scientist during this expedition due to his extensive experience in the Arctic and Antarctica since 2007 as a lecturer, guide, and zodiac driver onboard polar expedition tour vessels.
