A 32-year-old Romanian man who arrived in the High Arctic community of Grise Fiord from Greenland by motorboat Monday has been arrested under the Immigration Act.

The man travelled up the west coast of Greenland, from Qaanaq to Sisimiut, and then crossed the icy waters of Davis Strait to Grise Fiord, said Nunavut RCMP Cpl. Randy Slawson.

He basically had a GPS, no food and maybe he felt it was a short enough trip that he didn't need these supplies," Slawson said.

"But when he did come ashore, the boat had suffered some damage, the individual was very cold and hungry."
