Nunavut is the newest Canadian territory. Iqaluit is its capital city. Nunavut, meaning "our land" in Inuktitut, is located between the Northwest Territories and Greenland. It is larger in size than Mexico, and most of its area is made up of islands. Almost all of its land lies above the Arctic Circle and is covered by snow for most of the year.
Native Canadians called Inuit have lived in the area for more than 6,000 years and make up a large part of the present population. Only about 30,000 people live in Nunavut. Because of its location, almost no farming takes place in Nunavut. Most of its people make a living in the mining and fishing industries.
The territory is home to the most northern permanent settlement in the world, called Alert. It can be found on Ellesmere Island. Alert's weather station has a permanent population of five people in winter but can grow as large as fifty people in the spring and summer months when Canadian Forces officers monitor a military signals intelligence station and researchers work at a Global Atmosphere Watch station.
