GlobeAndMail news reported that Aziz (Ozzie) Kheraj had two granddaughters, 6 and 7 years old sisters Cheyenne and Gabrielle Eckalook onboard. Gabrielle survived.
Ozzie and his Resolute Bay South Camp Inn are known to most Arctic skiers as the final Base Camp before they are flown to the Canadian edge of the ice. This is where they sort through their sleds and enjoy their last comforts such as warm beds and prepared meals before their months-long expeditions.
The plane reportedly crashed into a hill near Resolute and was shattered. Cause of the crash is under investigation. Released names of victims include Arctic researcher Marty Bergmann and South Camp Inn cook Randy Reid. The three survivors include a 48-year-old man, a 23-year-old woman and the seven-year-old girl.
