Preface

 in Iqaluit, Canada's northernmost capital city, and just 20km of roads, mostly unpaved. The only way to get there for much of the year is by plane, although there's a small window from July to September when supply ships can manoeuvre through the ice-encrusted bay. "If you miss the boat, that's the season," says Iqaluit's mayor, Elisapee Sheutiapik.
