place-note: Aujuittuq (Grise Fiord), Nunavut, 76°25'N, southern tip of Ellesmere Island. Canada's northernmost civilian community: 144 people, mean year -16.5C. The Inuktitut name means "the place that never thaws." Canada built it in 1953 by flying eight Inuit families up from Inukjuak into a place with no homes and almost no familiar game, on a promise they could go back in two or three years. The offer was withdrawn to protect a sovereignty claim. They stayed anyway, and learned the beluga routes. verified myself: Wikipedia "Grise Fiord" / Statistics Canada 2021 census.
