A Phone Call from Below the Arctic Ice - The 50th Anniversary of Arctic III Sub-Igloo Phone Call to Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau

Ingenium – Canada's…

On December 17, 1972, Canadian scientists on an Arctic expedition made a groundbreaking phone call to Ottawa. The Arctic III expedition, led by Dr. Joe MacInnis, made the call from 12 metres (40 feet) below the Arctic ice in Resolute Bay, Nunavut, (which was, at that time, part of Northwest Territories).

Three images side by side: a toilet bowl expelling a cloud of droplets, a gloved hand holding a test tube containing a small plant, and an infrared view of Jupiter's volcanic moon Io showing spots of volcanic activity covering the moon.

3 things you should know about flushing the toilet, artificial photosynthesis, and volcanic activity on Jupiter's moon

Michelle Campbell Mekarski, PhD

The Avro Lancaster: Beyond the Second World War

Valerie Kaiyang Wood

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

The Avro Lancaster was a large British bomber airplane, manufactured by A.V. Roe and Company (Avro), that entered the Second World War in April 1942 and was best known for nighttime bombings of German cities. It was one of the first British bombers to feature four engines, which allowed it to carry a very large bombing load, more than 6,000 kg, as well as enough fuel to fly more than 2,600 km in a single flight. The Lancaster could reach speeds of 438 km per hour and had a high-altitude ceiling

3 things you should know about acidification, gravitational waves, and humanoids

Renée-Claude Goulet

Canada Agriculture and Food Museum

For the September edition, our experts wrote about why ocean acidification is posing problems for shellfish, how researchers used gravitational waves to observe a black hole and neutron star orbiting each other and merging, and what the future could look like — with humanoids in our midst.

A spliced, three-part image shows plants growing out of water tubes on the left, a black-and-white image of Ganymede in the centre, and two blue butterflies on a flower on the right.

3 things you should know about aquaponics, Jupiter’s largest moon, and butterflies
