DRIVING FROM IQALUIT TO APEX, NUNAVUT.
In this video we give viewers quick view of Upper Plateau as well as the Iqaluit Hospital and show the drive from Iqaluit to the nearby town of Apex.
We are a young couple living in the Canadian Arctic and expecting our first baby in February 2019!

I could never live where it's so cold, but I am fascinated with these videos. Same for videos of Nuuk, Greenland. Just so nice to see how people make it in these extreme environments.

@OliviaIrwin4 5 лет назад

I agree, I love seeing different parts of the world and how people live! :) thanks for your comment :)

@RXP91 4 года назад

Really appreciate you posting these videos - amazing how we can get a taste of such different culture from our living rooms :)

Hi Olivia. I teach a group of Japanese high school exchange students, who are here in Ontario for three months to improve their English (they have to a pass a huge English exam in the fall in order to be eligible for acceptance to university). I've been adding in as much as I can about Canadian geography, culture, and First Nations people along the way. Your videos have provided some great insight into life in the North. Thanks very much for them - they've really enjoyed the videos, and we've had some good discussions as a result.

@OliviaIrwin4 5 лет назад

Doug Fox That is so cool to hear! I am so glad you’ve been enjoying them and that they have been helpful! If you or any of them have any questions about life here please don’t hesitate to ask! :) and good luck to them on the big test!

My little brother went to Baffin for a class adventure with his prep school. I think the main town was still called Frobisher Bay. He remarked that it reminded him of the living in the puckerbrush of NH. Except they ate a lot of seal and all the houses smelled of seal. But like back in rural NH, the families loaded up everything with ketchup on Baffin. He bought a box of Nerd candy at the store, and walked out into a vicious, blinding snowsquall!

@joanasiemingeriak8209 2 года назад

It was initially called Frobisher Bay until modern civilization came. The name means Place Of Many Fish.

Hey, I'm from Mexico and I really want to live in Iqaluit. I love the snow and the ice, In my city we have 3-8 days of snow every year in Winter, So I really wanna live there.!!

@OliviaIrwin4 5 лет назад

You would love living in Canada then! :)

@nickdawsonmr3063 4 года назад

My sweet little wife is from Mexico, and she almost died from minus 7 c. Minus 40 is a lot colder, which happens a lot in Iqualiut. It might be more difficult than you can imagine, however, the one thing these arctic places need is more people, so I hope you will enjoy it there !

Where does garbage go when picked up? What's the process of making burial arrangements since you cant bury in permafrost?

@mattbc787 5 лет назад

did you guys get your vehicle up there or transport it from the south? just curious what is a must have for the car (aside from a block heater or battery charger). moving up there in Feb and have the option of bringing my vehicle from home!

@OliviaIrwin4 5 лет назад

Matt BC we bought a used vehicle here! So I have no idea about the costs and logistics of shipping a vehicle, ours was on its last leg anyway and wasn’t worth bringing up haha. Must haves apart from block heater are winter tires, and 4 wheel drive! A remote start is nice to have too but we’ve survived so far without one :)

@bobbates7343 Год назад

Please cover how people heat the homes and the apartment buildings. Wood must be out but oil tanks were beside some homes but the other buildings I have no idea how they heat them

@marknc9616 5 лет назад

If you are going to speed up the film for a driving video it is best to have used a good dash cam. Turning the camera to get additional footage was probably ok at normal film speed, but is hard to watch at higher film speeds.

@OliviaIrwin4 5 лет назад

Mark NC yes! I’ve gotten requests for driving around footage at normal speed so I’ll definitely do that next time! 😛

@cooperhilinsky5939 5 лет назад

May I ask a few questions? Have you and Devon picked up much of the native language? How does the changing daylight affect your baby’s sleep patterns? How is the crime rate? And what is the size of the police force? I’m not Canadian, what are your rights in moving from province to province? Is it like the US where you can move to another indefinitely?

@joanasiemingeriak8209 2 года назад

To the last question asked, lol! Province to Territory!

So now you truly understand how isolated some places are!! I was born there originally. I live in a big city now in Ontario.

@drsysop 5 лет назад

Did you ship your car from Toronto to there? I assume no car dealers there. How much is gas there & there many places to get it? Is insurance high or required there?

@OliviaIrwin4 5 лет назад

We bought a vehicle here! There are always lots being sold. Next time we go get gas I’ll check how much it is and let you know, my boyfriend is always the one who gets it! There are a couple of gas stations. I can think of 2 but may be missing some. We are insured with a company from down south, I don’t believe there are any local companies. Thanks for your questions! :)

Please don't fast forward the videos. Most people have never seen it, the streets ect. I actually never expected it to be so built up, I just expected a few buildings here and there. Seems for the past little while (20 years), Canada has been putting money into these Arctic Towns.

It looks bigger then I though it would be! I thought there were like 5 000 people there but there must be more then that. What are the main industries there? It looks like that would be a good place for wind turbines! No trees, the wind must pick up there!

@OliviaIrwin4 5 лет назад

Tom Kelly hi Tom! The 2016 census has the population at 7,740! The main industries according to google are government, communications, transportation, fishing and hunting, carving/handcrafts and tourism! You can read more about the main industries in Nunavut here! Some interesting stats :) www.gov.nu.ca/eia/information/nunavut-faqs

@cupstudios3788 5 лет назад

Never put turbines near people please 😇 there are many studies showing the, for lack of more specifics, distress it puts the residence nearby under.
