Isole Gretha

Le isole Gretha sono un gruppo di isole disabitate del Territorio di Nunavut, in Canada. Geografia Il gruppo è composto in totale da tre isole, situate nella regione di Qikiqtaaluk. Si trova nel sound di Eureka, a nord della penisola Raanes sull'isola di Ellesmere e ad est dell'isola Stor. Le Gretha fanno parte delle isole Sverdrup, che a loro volta rientrano tra le isole Regina Elisabetta, nell'arcipelago artico canadese. Storia A conferire il nome Gretha al gruppo fu l'esploratore norvegese Otto Sverdrup, che nel 1904 si riferì ad esse con il nome di Grethas Öer nel suo libro New Land: Four years in the arctic regions.

Grey Goose Island

Grey Goose Island is one of several, larger, uninhabited Canadian arctic islands in Nunavut, Canada located within the midsection of James Bay. Other comparable islands in the area include the Bear Islands, North and South Twin Islands, Spencer Island, Sunday Island, and Walter Island. La Grande River and the Cree village of Chisasibi, Quebec are 65 km (40 mi) to the southeast. The island is low-lying and flat, dominated by rock and sand. It is devoid of trees, although there are grasses and other hardy plants. It is frequented by Arctic fox, Ringed seal, Beluga whale, caribou, and polar bears. A major migration route for geese, notable bird populations include American pipit, Arctic tern, black guillemot, common eider, common loon, great black-backed gull, gyrfalcon, herring gull, Pacific loon, purple sandpiper, red-necked phalarope, red-throated loon, and semipalmated plover. History Grey Goose Island's history includes a visit by Robert J. Flaherty in 1910 during the First MacKenzie Expedition, as well as the stranding of the MV North Star IV in 1961 after it hit an uncharted rock. During the Cold War period of 1958 to 1965, Canada permitted the United States to practise high-altitude photographic reconnaissance over Grey Goose Island with the RB-52C Stratofortress. M120 photoflash bombs were used, and possibly practice bombs. Small-calibre machine gun rounds may have been fired. Because of the possibility that unexploded explosive ordnance or other munitions are buried in the ground, or may still remain on the island, Canada's Department of National Defence has retained the area. However, occasionally, the island's wildlife resources are harvested by the Cree. References

Inuksuk High School

Inuksuk High School is the high school of Iqaluit, the capital of the Canadian territory of Nunavut. History The school opened in late 1971 as the Gordon Robertson Educational Centre with 278 students and 28 teachers. Don King was the first principal. The school was built by two companies, Maurice Carrier Inc. and Wilfrid Legars Inc., both of Sainte-Foy, Quebec, at a cost of $3.3 million. Canadian Industries Limited built the school's exterior walls from prefabricated glass-fiber reinforced plastic, a light-weight material that would reduce shipping costs. The panels were designed to withstand winds of 100 miles per hour (161 km/h), which sometimes occur in the area. Exterior windows were made of three layers of glass, similar to the type used on airplanes, in order to provide thermal insulation. Before the school was built, students were sent to Churchill, Manitoba, for high school. References

Meadowbank Gold Mine

The Meadowbank Gold Mine is an open pit gold mine operated by Agnico-Eagle Mines in the Kivalliq district of Nunavut, Canada approximately 300 km west of Hudson Bay. Meadowbank was Agnico Eagle’s first Low Arctic mine. Discovery Discoveries of gold-containing Archean greenstone in the Baker Lake region were made in the 1980s. Asamera Minerals and Complex set out as partners in the project. The Third Portage deposit was discovered in 1987; this was followed by the discovery of the Goose Island deposit, and the North Portage deposit. Cumberland completed their acquisition of Complex's share in the discovery in 1997 taking sole ownership of the project. Since then three further discoveries have been made including the Vault deposit (October 2000), the PDF deposit (October 2002) and the Cannu zone (September 2005). The entire area has probable gold reserves of 3.5 million ounces (29.3 million tonnes of ore at 3.7 grams per tonne) and is open on strike and at depth. Geology The Meadowbank and Amaruq projects are underlain by Archean-age volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Woodburn Lake Group. At the Amaruq property, three significant gold-bearing quartz-pyrrhotite-arsenopyrite veining/flooding within volcano-sedimerntary rocks have been discovered. These locations include Whale Tail, V Zone (IVR) and Mammoth. Construction and operation Construction of the mine was completed and the mine was opened in June 2010. The original mine at Meadowbank achieved commercial production in March 2010 and produced its three millionth ounce of gold in 2018 though ceased operations in 2019. However, the support infrastructure and mill facilities at the original site are still being used for supporting a new satellite mine at Amaruq, which gradually transitioned operations from the original mine.

Estret del Fury i el Hecla

L'estret del Fury i el Hecla (en anglès Fury and Hecla Strait) és un estret cos d'aigua d'entre 2 i 20 quilòmetres d'amplada i uns 130 de llargada, que es troba a la regió de Qikiqtaaluk al territori de Nunavut, Canadà. Està situat entre l'illa de Baffin, al nord, i la península de Melville, al sud, i connecta la conca de Foxe, a l'est, amb el golf de Boothia, a l'oest. L'estret va ser descobert per l'explorador William Edward Parry el 1822, arran de la seva segona expedició a la recerca del pas del Nord-oest. Aquest fou l'indret més allunyat de l'expedició i en trobar-lo barrat pel gel que cobreix les seves aigües la major part de l'any van haver de fer mitja volta.

Průliv Fury a Hekla

Průliv Fury a Hecla (anglicky Fury and Hecla Strait) je přírodní vodní cesta mezi Baffinovým ostrovem a severním pobřežím Melvillova poloostrova v kanadském teritoriu Nunavut. Dosahuje délky 190 km a jeho šířka se pohybuje do 2 km po 50 km, na západě ústí do Boothijského zálivu a na východě do Foxova zálivu. Hladina je po většinu roku zamrzlá, průliv slouží jako migrační trasa pro četné mořské živočichy (velryba grónská, tuleň vousatý, tuleň kroužkovaný). Největším ostrovem ve vodách průlivu je Ormonde Island. Břehy pokrývá tundra, jedinou osadou je Igloolik. V zálivu Steensby Inlet těží společnost Baffinland Iron Mines Corporation železnou rudu. Průliv objevil v roce 1822 William Parry při hledání Severozápadního průjezdu a pojmenoval ho podle svých lodí HMS Fury a HMS Hecla. Parryho výprava zde uvázla v ledu a byla nucena přezimovat. Poprvé dokázala průlivem proplout americká expedice na lodích USS Edisto a USCGC Eastwind v roce 1948. V okolí průlivu byly zaznamenány silné hvízdavé zvuky neznámého původu, kvůli nimž se z místních vod začaly vytrácet velryby. Do pátrání po zdroji hluku se zapojila i kanadská armáda.

Fury-und-Hecla-Straße

Die Fury-und-Hecla-Straße (englisch Fury and Hecla Strait) ist eine Meerenge im kanadischen Territorium Nunavut. Wichtigster Ort der Region ist Iglulik auf einer Insel etwas südöstlich der Fury-und-Hecla-Straße. Lage Die Fury-und-Hecla-Straße verbindet das Foxebecken im Osten mit dem Golf von Boothia im Westen. Die Meerenge trennt die größte Insel des Landes, die Baffininsel, im Norden vom nordamerikanischen Festland, genauer gesagt von der Melville-Halbinsel, im Süden. Die Meeresstraße ist je nach Definition des östlichen Endes 140 oder 200 km lang. Im östlichen Teil der Meerenge befinden sich die beiden größeren Inseln Simialuk (vormals „Ormonde Island“) und Elder Island. Zwischen den beiden Inseln sowie der südlich und nördlich gelegenen Küste befinden sich drei Engpässe, wobei der südlichste mit einer Breite von etwa 2,3 km der breiteste ist. Weiter westlich befinden sich in der Fury-und-Hecla-Straße nahe der Südküste die Inseln Saglirjuaq (vormals „Liddon Island“) und Saglaarjuk (vormals „Amherst Island“). An der Nordküste unweit vom östlichen Ausgang der Meerenge liegt der Gifford-Fjord. Das Gewässer ist die meiste Zeit des Jahres vereist. Namensgebung Die Meerenge wurde 1822 im Zuge der zweiten Expedition von William Edward Parry entdeckt und nach seinen beiden Schiffen, der Fury und der Hecla, benannt.

Fury and Hecla Strait

Fury and Hecla Strait is a narrow (from 2 to 20 km (1.2 to 12.4 mi) wide) Arctic seawater channel located in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada. Geography Situated between Baffin Island to the north and the Melville Peninsula to the south, it connects Foxe Basin on the east with the Gulf of Boothia on the west. Water flow in the strait is sometimes westerly and sometimes easterly – there are diurnal and semidiurnal components to the flows; tidal and subtidal effects also play a role. The strait provides Arctic Ocean drainage for Hudson Bay via Foxe Basin. Several islands of the Arctic Archipelago are located inside the strait: Saglirjuaq (Liddon Island), Simialuk (Ormonde Island) and Saglaarjuk (Amherst Island) are the largest ones. History of exploration The Strait is named after the Royal Navy ships HMS Fury and HMS Hecla, which encountered the strait in 1822 during an expedition led by William Edward Parry. Both ships became stuck in ice in October 1821, and remained immobile for eight months. During this time, the expedition learned of the strait from the native Inuit. Two men from the expedition set out with four Inuit on sled to assess the strait. Captain Parry would later accompany another trip to the strait. In 1948, two United States Coast Guard icebreakers, the Edisto and Eastwind, succeeded in crossing the strait from east to west, and the Canadian Coast Guard ship, the Labrador, succeeded in crossing the strait from west to east in 1956. In August 2016, David Scott Cowper and son, Freddy Cowper, aboard M/V Polar Bound became the first vessel to transit Fury and Hecla Strait from east to west during their successful Route-7 West Northwest Passage. "The Ping" Fury and Hecla Strait is the site of an unexplained sound called "The Ping", which emanated from the seabed throughout the summer of 2016. Originally recorded by a sailboat's onboard sonar, local hunters from the town of Igloolik blamed it for a comparative scarcity of marine game animals that year. Canadian military authorities performed an airborne survey of the area but reported nothing unusual, nor did they have any knowledge of allied or foreign submarine activity in the area. The local legislative assembly member Paul Quassa mentioned past rumours of Greenpeace using sonar signals to drive animals away from hunting grounds, but a spokesperson for the group denied any such activity. Quassa also mentioned the possibility of sonar surveys conducted by local mining companies, but he noted no territorial permits for such work had been issued. According to Peter Worcester of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, a possible cause of the acoustic noise could be the product of sea ice on the Arctic Ocean rubbing together, cracking, and moving.
