On September 20, 2012, His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco arrived in Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada.

On his first day the sovereign prince went on a nature walk with Qikiqtani Inuit Association President, Ms. Okalik Eegeesiak and Ms. Alacie Joamie, according to CBC reporter, Ms. Emily Ridlington.  During his walk, Ms. Ridlington noted that the sovereign prince “…learned about the sensitive marine Arctic environment…”
