    when i was a kid I used to live in central mexico by the ocean pacific (hot and tropical weather) , i remember i saw a national geographic documentary about the life in the canadian tundra and the north pole
    as a kid i always wanted to visit there and spend some time in the canadian tundra, for now i'll just watch these videos that reminds me of where i want to go

    Thanks. Videos like this is interesting, since this is the only way for people, like me, to ever get to see what it's like in certain cities around the world. It's nice that you get to go for a drive like that.
    One thing I noticed from these videos is that I don't see any traffic lights. Just all stop signs. And as I typed that about the traffic lights, I realized, no sewer system for the streets, either. But, I'm sure they came up with something for the run off when it rains, or snow melts.

      @amybluesky007 2 года назад

      It is all a matter of perspective, it must really feel like a desert of ice, frost and snow. Or desert land. But in "desolate" nature, sometimes you also find the warmest welcoming people. I don't know if it is the case in Iqaluit, provided that the Inuits population there have been colonized by the Canadians, but it looks nicer than what I thought.

But in Canada just more mild winter areas, but never no winter

I cannot believe after her 20 year old, first time acting venture that Hollywood has not has not had Charles Martin Smith find another fine, fine story as the first one. I watched "Never Call Wolf" starring Charles the other night, then HAD TO watch the beautiful, very talented Annabella again. I like watching this stuff about Nunavut and I though Iqalut was small.

The major investment in & completion of the new Iqaluit Airport terminal is a huge indicator of the positive direction of Iqaluit's future. Additional commercial & residential development is undoubtedly already in at least the planning stages. Will be interesting to watch this progress thru your videos.

Iqaluit looks incredibly prosperous, especially compared to Arctic towns in Alaska like Nome or Utqiagvik which actually have a lot of economic activity based on natural resources like oil and precious metals. Is all of Iqaluit's wealth just based on government money, since Iqaluit is now the administrative center of Nunavut?

Also hope electric cars are shipped to Iqaluit soon it's the perfect place for them; never drive far, and never need to worry about an engine being too cold to start, and so much cheaper to run with gas prices being so expensive up there.

    What they don’t tell you as they wax poetic about these arctic towns is the incredible high crime rate, the assault rate, the murder rate, and the widespread abuse of alcohol. These are NOT happy areas in the beautiful snowscape. In reality they are hellholes. Very cold hellholes.

      If you are calling this “hellholes” try to visit russian northern lands. No roads, devastated infrastructure + enormous corruption in all law enforcement departments...

      Кай Без Герды Sounds terrible. Plus it’s far colder in Siberia then in Alaska or the Northwest Territories of Canada. Why would anyone live in Siberia? There are options in western Russia that are not nearly as bad.
