Article: Can you solar cook in the Arctic?

Although the majority of solar cooking occurs closer to the equator where the sun is strongest, it doesn’t limit the usefulness of solar cookers to those areas exclusively. Looking at the SCI distribution map, one can see cookers as far south as Wellington, New Zealand to as far north as Tuktoyaktuk, Canada. This may come as a surprise, but did you know that solar cooking can also be effective in the Arctic? Klaus Dohring has traveled to some of the northernmost communities in Canada and used that opportunity to demonstrate the effectiveness of solar cookers, then donating them to those communities.
