Iqaluit2


The capital of Nunavut is located on Frobisher Bay on Baffin Island.  The community was originally a military airbase built during WWII by the Americans who left in 1963. Today the Iqaluit International Airport is the nexus of a thriving air passenger and cargo industry. Since being named the capital, infrastructure has grown at an amazing rate.
