Even though it's located on the remote Arctic tundra, Iqaluit aims to be every inch a capital city, with the amenities and quality of life to rival any in Canada. Iqaluit's economy -based mainly on a government that has expanded rapidly since the city became the capital of Nunavut in 1999- is growing by leaps and bounds.

The Arctic Circle may seem like quite an inhospitable place to live, but there are several large viable cities inside the Arctic Circle, besides Iqaluit, these include the cities of Barrow, Alaska; Tromso, Norway; and Muramansk and Salekhaard in Russia. In addition to these large cities, there are numerous other large towns and villages, making the Arctic Circle and sub-arctic regions far from being the barren wastelands that people often imagine.
