Photo DescriptionWith their Inuit guide, three members of the moving force of Exercise Muskox leave the R.C.M.P. post at Cambridge Bay, N.W.T. (now Nunavut) for a sixty mile run along Queen Maud Gulf to Anderson Bay. While three snowmobiles ventured north to Denmark Bay the rest of the force stayed at the post for a few days as guests of the mounties. The men of Muskox have covered about half of their 3100-mile route and the operation is expected to arrive in Edmonton early in May. In the background above are the buildings of the R.C.M.P. post.
