Snowmobile Safety Alert Near Lake Geraldine
March 26, 2024 – Iqaluit, Nunavut

The City urges all snowmobilers to exercise caution when travelling northeast of Lake Geraldine (See Attached Map) until the end of the snowmobiling or winter season. Recent boring and drilling activities involving an excavator have created unexpected ruts in the snow which may not be visible due to current overcast weather conditions, leading to a "white out" situation where visibility is significantly reduced.
