Three dead in Nunavut after snow machine crashes through ice near Whale Cove
WHALE COVE, Nunavut — Three men have drowned after a large snow machine crashed through sea ice in Nunavut.
Mounties say it happened on Saturday near Whale Cove, on the western shore of Hudson Bay, while the men were making a cargo run from Rankin Inlet to Arviat.
One of the four men in the Bombardier snow machine survived and was able to get to Whale Cove on a snowmobile they were transporting when they fell through.
Police and other volunteers found Patrick Kaludjak, who was 55, dead and started searching for the other two men.
