Gjoa Haven, second "big" city (1200 inhabitants) we've reached after Resolute Bay. ᐅᖅᓱᖅᑑᖅ, or Uqsuqtuuq in Inuktitut, meaning "lots of fat". Obviously many people here are fat, but the names rather refers to the abundance of seals, from which Inuit people use to extracts fat.

Gjoa Haven, "grande" ville (1200 habitants) du Nunavut. ᐅᖅᓱᖅᑑᖅ, ou Uqsuqtuuq en Inuktitut, ce qui signifie "beaucoup de graisse", en raison de l'abondance de phoques (dont l'Inuit tire la graisse) dans les parages. Nous y croisons par ailleurs un certains nombre de gens obèses.
