Ran across a couple of URL's leading to information about Gjoa Haven (Gjoa is pronounced "Joe"), an Inuit village located on the route taken by Amundsen and other polar explorers searching for the Northwest Passage. Some history, some chamber of commerce promotion stuff, and some info on recreation (some of it paddling related) above the Arctic Circle.
