A remote Arctic hamlet is declaring victory after a consortium of energy companies cancelled this summer’s controversial plans for seismic testing off Baffin Island.

“I’m very happy about it,” said Jerry Natanine, mayor of Clyde River, a hamlet along the island’s east coast that strongly opposed the seismic plans.
