Alert

The flag of Alert, Nunavut, is a vertical bicolour of yellow and black with the settlement's coat of arms in the center.
==Symbolism==
The gold and black representing the halves of the year spent in light and darkness, respectively. Two rows of mountains: the white representing the glacier-capped peaks of the United States Range that dominate the western horizon, and the blue representing two peaks in the rocky Winchester Hills - Crystal Mountain and Mount Pullen - between which the sun is first seen from station each year, on or shortly after March 3rd. The blue and white waves at the bottom representing the mostly-frozen Arctic Ocean, which can turn a vivid and rich blue when southern winds push the ice pack away from shore. The St. Edward's Crown represents Canadian sovereignty and the military presence in Alert. The muskox, a hardy animal that lives and survives despite the many hardships of the icy, barren and forbidding wastes of the Arctic, is suitably symbolic of those who serve at this northern station.
