Iqaluit (May 23/05) - Four women between the ages of 25 and 35 were reported overdue from a snowmobiling trip last Monday around 8:30 a.m. They were found just after noon on the same day.
The group left Saturday on two snowmobiles. When one snowmobile ran out of gas they continued on the other to a cabin 30 kilometres south of Iqaluit where they spent the next two nights. They did not have enough gas to return.
When they did not arrive at work Monday morning a friend notified the Iqaluit RCMP.
Two teams from Iqaluit Search and Rescue were sent out to areas near town where the group of four normally camped.
