(NA-230, new one) for three full days between 25 July and 10

at this time, but they will be announced a few days id advance of
the operation. This will be Cezar's most difficult operation to
date. The islands are 12-14 hours away from shore and
transportation requires a large boat. Traditionally unstable
weather pattern, unknown local landing conditions, high seas, the
presence of ice chunks in Hudson Bay, potential presence of polar
bears, all these and other logistical aspects make this trip
extremely challenging. At this time Cezar seeks group and
individual donors who understand and appreciate the difficult and
expensive task ahead and are willing to be part of this effort.
