A barge frozen into the ice.

Ben,
I hope you didn't lick or eat around that barge b/c its probably slightly radioactive. The barges name is Radium. The barge probably belonged to the Eldorado Mining and Refining Limited based out of Port Radium on Great Bear Lake and was used for shipping bulk radium or uranium salts. As of note this is where most of the radioactive materials for the American WWII A-bombs came from.

Your concerned friend,

Tom
