  • Iqaluit is the capital city of Nunavut, a territory in Canada. It has a population of 7,429, according to Statistics Canada's 2021 census. Residents are called Iqalummiut. There are no roads that connect the city to any other community. For much of the year, it's a fly-in-only city.
    This video was recorded on a GoPro Hero 7 Black on Dec. 31, 2021. It was about -17 C during most of the recording, according to Environment Canada data. #Iqaluit #Nunavut #FrobisherBay

    Thank you for posting this. As a young boy I lived there from 1965-67. No surprise that I recognized only the abandoned HBC in Apex.

      Yes, it was attached to the hood. It used to shut off within minutes in this kind of cold, but a firmware update mostly fixed that. Even in the usual cold temperatures in the North, it generally lasts around 40 minutes.
