Resolute Bay, NU. When 300m feels like a Kilometre.

[@mitchellelliott1737]

I worked in Resolute for 4 "summers" (1975 - 70) while going to university. Looking back, Resolute made a much greater impression on me than I would have thought at the time. I'm glad I had the opportunity.

[@umafamiliaportuguesa2841]

The world can be so free... It just depends on us to explore it and feel it by ourselves. Feeling the traveling... Feeling the Journey itself.

[@KermisVoyager1997]

Makes me feel cold watching this video.

[@edwinmorales6261]

I was looking at google eart, and I saw the bay far away from everything. So I was able to look for a video on KZbin and here I am. Saludos desde Tijuana México!

[@joshuathechef3501]

Yo vivo allí 😅

[@huazhang4043]

What a beautiful place

That’s incredibly amazing, I really want to go there…

Resolute 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@kjul.]

Wow that's so fascinating! Since this little town is so incredibly isolated, how do people get electricity and basic goods?

[@ericksonclayton]

Electricity in all of the arctic communities are provided by diesel generators. The fuel is brought in once (sometimes twice for some) each summer by sea when the ice is either gone or thin enough for icebreakers to work their way in. Basic goods are brought in also on the sealift in the summer and other small and perishable goods are brought in by air. Most commercial aircraft up there are combi-flights which means that they block off part of the aircraft so one part is for passengers and the other part is for cargo.

[@kjul.]

Very interesting, thanks :) This seems like a lot of effort for a few small settlements, but I'm glad these exist, since they hold a totally unique culture.

[@EArockerful]

Amazing, great answer!

[@TheTaxiGuy2012]

Typical winter here in South Dakota 🥶🥶🥶😊

[@misterfool509]

Resolute is mentioned in William T Vollmann's The Rifles. The Cold is as palpable in the book as in your video.

[@rscott2247]

When I watch a video like this for whatever reason, it makes me wonder how the Inuit & First Nations (Old Crow, Yukon) people survived in these brutal cold windy winters. I know the Inuit built igloo's but still ?

[@fellowworker369]

They survived because of the seal: seal meat, seal skin for clothing, seal oil for their lamps to heat their iglu called the qulliq.

[@dr.strnge9057]

[@luisbenitez1294]

Im very sure rent is cheap there

[@AJKPenguin]

Cost of living however is quite expensive. The town is remote and prices may exceed ritzy portions of Vancouver and Toronto.

[@TonyMoze]

wow that sounds like ICELAND's situation. saw how expensive it was out there.

Is everyone there just for work? And if not why people decide to stay there?

And this is during summer.

[@sm6758]

No, it's mid february

[@gammabutalphaversion]

That is almost like the arctic

[@RemmiRocks1234]

Resolute is in the arctic circle

[@Bruh-ji3jk]

is there any sort of internet connection up there?

[@spondivitslancaster4456]

I'm sure with the very high advanced level of technology that we posses today,there's probably some form of internet connection via satellite or underground cable???...

[@AJKPenguin]

Satellite internet is a major player for Northern Canada and Greenland.

[@Frankie343]

Probably be very slow

what do ppl do over there ? do they have a job ?

[@billcarson121]

Can I ask what you do for a living? I wonder what kind of jobs are up there (besides government jobs).

[@emilphoryew9436]

Where are the toucans? Well this is one place you won't ever have to worry about ISIS. Great place to go on a honeymoon. You have to be bat shit crazy to live up there but it's great if you're looking to skip town.

Yep...no"isis"up there because there's no "halal"meat available!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Actually, in Iqaluit the capitol of Nunavut, Muslims have moved up there with their families and started a food bank.

[@whydoineedahandle406]

American's be like, "I thought 300m was a kilometer"

[@FourthWayRanch]

aren't there polar bears roaming around all the time up there?? shouldn't you carry a rifle?

[@ericksonclayton]

Yes but they aren't exactly lurking around every corner plus they tend to stick to the ice mainly where their main food source is.

[@FourthWayRanch]

@@ericksonclayton it's probably the same as with black or brown bears further south. You're fine as long as you don't come accross one that's really hungry, old, sick, injured, really young etc etc.

[@theman3456]

I wonder what will happen when the economy collapses and there will be no planes or boats to this place. I guess you will learn to live without diesel and other goods.

[@fellowworker369]

Inuit lived for centuries before the white man came. There are enough people who remember the old ways. They will be just fine.

[@Bitterrootbackroads]

When I was doing ebay 10-15 years ago I listed a small Primus or Optimus (similar & can’t remember which) camp stove. Winning bidder was in Resolute and I mailed it off to him. A cup full of fuel fills it. He sent a message about it being the best stove to take out hunting on the ice. I have a feeling he will get by somehow, the neighbors on my street not so much.

This looks Awful
