unTravelogue: Qausuittuq, Nunavut

Lots of people say they'd jump at a chance to go to another planet, some say they want to get away from it all, grab some peace and quiet and some just say they need a little space to themselves. unTravelogue II is Qausuittuq, and easily one of the closest terrestrial places where you can get so near to all three.

It's 74.7 degrees year-round in Qausuittuq, but that's not Fahrenheit, that's North Latitude. In longitude, which doesn't matter nearly so much, it's 94.9 degrees West from Greenwich, but I wouldn't bother computing your timezone unless you're phoning friends back home.

Welcome to Resolute Bay

When I was still in grade school, my father flew freight runs into the arctic; I remember the soft feel of the winter coats, gloves and overalls, the warm snugness of the hand-me-downs we'd get to wear as we got older, and, and I'll bet my mother remembers this too, I remember the sweet syrop smell of crude oil that just seemed to fill everything about the basement when Dad was home.

We'd hear the names of these places, Rankin Inlet, Great Bear Lake, Resolute Bay -- we'd occasionally have a taste of arctic char too, but those worlds remained remote, lands of only imagination.
