Aujuittuq [ᐊᐅᔪᐃᑦᑐᖅ, also known as Grise Fiord] is Canada’s northernmost town, in Qikiqtani Region, Nunavut Territory. It is located at the southern tip of Ellesmere Island, which is about half the size of California, or about twice the size of Portugal. 800km further north from the little village is Canadian Forces Station Alert, the northernmost settlement in the world but inhabited only by a rotating population of military personnel and scientists. Aujuittuq is a real town in which people are born, live and die, and one of the coldest inhabited places on earth.
