People live here? On purpose?
I can't imagine a permanently inhabited place that has a climate appreciably worse than this one. Even Barrow, Alaska (now Utqiagvik) can do better.

No summers, winters excessively long and cold, far too dry.

A, almost A+.



All of Nunavut has a truly epic climate. Gjoa Haven in particular is pretty close to ideal, and this one is not too different from it.

Makes me think of the marine artist Williiam Bradford where there's an iceberg in pretty much every one of his paintings.


No thanks. F

Central Nunavut around the 70th parallel has the lowest windchill readings outside of Antarctica and is the main source of most Cold Snaps in the lower 48
Winter in Oymyakon is pleasant compared to a Nunavut blizzard

^Places on top of the Greenland ice sheet see lower wind chills than Nunavut, but everything else you say is true. That's what makes Nunavut so epic, a desirable location for sure!

It's like Iqaluit: extremely cold winters, cold summers. I rate it D-.
