    Doesn’t really seem like an igloo entrance to me. The entrance is too big (would let too much warmth out) and it doesn’t seem to be made of blocks. But I could be wrong.

    @PugJesus

    still amazes me how their ancestors learned to live that way and thrive in such a climate.

    Was Nunavut known by that name at the time? I thought this name for the part that was split from the Northwest Territories was given in modern times and just means “our land”, but I may be wrong.

      Yes, you are correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nunavut

      Nunavut was created in 1999 by separating from the Northwest Territories. The Northwest Territories joined Canadian Confederation in 1870.

      Regardless, it’s a pretty freaking cool picture.

      Correct it was not. It was split off (created) from the NWT in 1999
