High Arctic adventurer rescued after only 9 days of 80 day journey

Vincent Cochin had planned to spend 80 days travelling from Kugaaruk, Nunavut, to Qaanaaq, Greenland, by ski and snowshoe in an effort to break the world record for the longest unsupported, unassisted Arctic journey. Sgt. Yvonne Niego says Nunavut RCMP were notified late Wednesday night that a SPOT alarm had been triggered near Taloyoak.
