[Iqaluit, Capital of Nunavut, Canada]
-
[Temperatures dip below -25ºF/-32ºC]
-
With a long dark season and 24-hour sunlight in the summertime, it requires a unique individual to be able to survive the Arctic.
-
My name is Chris Kalluk.
-
I am from Nunavut.
-
I wanted to invite people to the Arctic.
-
I want people to know we exist up here.
-
And I wanted to be able to show people down south what it is like up here.
-
Iqaluit was captured with the Google tracker.
-
We hiked the whole city of Iqaluit in the span of four days.
-
With the tracker you are able to follow trails, you can hop on a snow mobile, or a quad or even on a dog team.
-
Traditionally, people used to rely completely on dog sleds.
-
There's still a handful of people that go out hunting by dog sled, but that's more for fun nowadays.
-
The world needs to see unique places.
-
And Canada's Arctic is most definitely a unique place.
-
Every community is not accessible by road.
-
You have to fly in and out, and nobody just passes through.
-
It feels good knowing that people all over the world can finally see Canada's Arctic as just amazing.
-
[Hello Iqaluit.]
-
[Hello world.]
