I have got the Arctic lure and will certainly go North again.

About This Quote

This quote is a reflection of the fact that we just can’t get enough of the North Pole. The Arctic has become a magnet for people who want to get away from it all and get in touch with nature. The world's northernmost settlement is the small town of Resolute, Canada, which is located on Ellesmere Island. The town was built in 1883 and once held a population of only 35 people.

It was abandoned in 1932 after a storm destroyed almost all its buildings. In the late 1960s the Canadian government decided to build a new settlement at Resolute, but in 1971 they ran out of money and abandoned the project. Nowadays, the site remains deserted and is visited very infrequently by tourists.
