 Now that your questions are completed. Get yours self a large piece of paper and some markers and get ready to make the map that will save lives! The starting location is ksljdfjlksdj, Alaska and the finishing postion is at Kuujjauq, Canada. The map should include each Canadian territory and where in these territories the tundra covers. The map should show a red line that dictates the path that you are going to journey. This path should be the quickest route to our survivers because we are racing the clock.

 After the map is complete, we need to create a list of neccesities that we'll need on our journey. The types of cloths, food, first aid ect. that we will need should all be included on this list. We also need to be creative with our terms of transportation once we pass the Alberta territory.
