16
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.680
my frostbitten friends, Let's build an
igloo of knowledge with those Nunavut Day
17
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:47.840
Trivia answers. Question one asked,
what does the name Nunavut mean in Innuctitut?
18
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:53.959
Answer our land fun fact. The
name Nunavut was chosen by the territory's
19
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.879
Inuit inhabitants, emphasizing their deep connection
to the land and the establishment of their
20
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:04.439
Arctic homeland. With its nineteen ninety
nine founding, it consists of three regions,
21
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:09.759
Chikktaluk, Kivalik, and Kittikmote.
Question two asked, While Nunavut has
22
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:15.759
no official capital, what is its
territorial capital? With over seven thouy seven
23
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:20.360
hundred residents, the city of Ekaluit
has been designated as Nunavut's territorial capital and
24
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:24.000
most populous community. It sits near
the head of Frobisher Bay on Baffin Island,
25
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:30.240
which had been home to Inuit settlements
for centuries before explorers arrived. Question
26
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:37.000
three asked what percentage of Canada's total
land mass does Nunavut cover. Answer approximately
27
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:42.439
twenty one percent or one fifth.
Fun fact. Nunavut's massive two plus million
28
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:46.280
square km area across the Arctic Islands
and mainland tundra makes it both the largest
29
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:52.199
and northernmost territory in Canada. It
shares maritime borders with Greenland and borders the
30
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:58.159
Northwest Territories to the west. Question
four asked which famous explorer traversed the full
31
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:05.080
Northwest passage by sea. Answer rolled
Amansen. Fun fact. The Norwegian Aminsen
32
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.000
and his crew were the first to
successfully navigate an entire water route through the
33
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:13.879
perilous Canadian Arctic Islands from nineteen oh
three to nineteen oh six on the Sloop

00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:16.800
Joa. He later became one of
the first explorers to reach the South Pole
35
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:23.520
in nineteen eleven. Question five asked
what is the northernmost permanently inhabited place in
36
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:28.039
the world. The tiny Inuit hamlet
of Alert on Ellesmere Island has a permanent
37
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:32.400
population of just ten people, but
is considered the world's northernmost permanently inhabited community
38
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:38.639
at over eighty one degrees north latitude. It operates as a military signals intelligence
39
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:43.159
