  • Admittedly the climate in Iqaluit, Nunavut sucks. That just means that when the weather is good, it is enjoyed more. Working here also allowed Kelvin to self-finance The Rather Odd Journey project.

    It’s like an entirely different world in my own country! I was born, and have live all of my 49 years in Toronto, BUT, love to escape the city and explore this great nation of ours, because there’s just so much to see and do. It’s a shame so many Canadians travel more outside their own country then in it. I’ve been to every territory and province, and ALL are equally beautiful in their own unique way. Admittedly, I’m a city boy, and I do love my city, but it’s also so nice to see just how massive Canada truly is! I have family in every province and territory, so I made it my mission to meet them all before I hit 50, just have Iqaluit left, so thanks for the video, now I can’t wait to see it for myself this summer!

      I first saw Frobisher Bay aka Iqaluit in May 1953. I last saw it in late 1980. Forget any debates, take it from me . . you owe yourself a visit to Iqaluit and the opportunity to explore all of Qikiqtaaluk Region. Consider "Toonik Time" to start off your introduction to the Arctic. Bon voyage!

      If you have been there this winter, you are experiencing a very frigid winter. My hobby is weather and Dec, Jan and now Feb, especially Jan. The first 7 days of Feb are all minus 32 or colder and next Monday and Tuesday are minus 41 and minus 43. That is crazy cold. I noticed there were cold warnings. Crazy cold.
