The Arctic is often associated with snow, ice, and tales of Santa Claus and his elves. But what if stories of Arctic elves aren't just Christmas folklore? From ancient Norse sagas to modern-day encounters, the Arctic has a surprising history of little people—beings described as small, elusive, and mysterious. In our Elf Sightings in the Arctic Christmas special, we explore historical accounts, scientific discoveries, and eyewitness testimonies that blur the line between legend and reality.Our journey begins with the Viking sagas of the 13th century, recounting events from around the year 1000. According to these sagas, Leif Erikson and his crew, after being blown off course, landed in Vinland—believed by some to be present-day Baffin Island. The Norse explorers documented encounters with people they called Skraelings, describing them as short, with tangled hair and broad faces. While historians have long assumed these were the ancestors of the Inuit, a 2008 study suggested the term Skraeling might be derived from an old Norse word for pygmy. If true, the Vikings may have believed they'd found the legendary dwarves described in ancient Greek myths—an association made even more compelling by a 1569 map labeling the North Pole as the home of pygmies, just four feet tall.The Arctic mystery deepens with the 1631 expedition of Captain Luke Foxe. While navigating the Northwest Passage, Foxe and his crew came ashore on Southampton Island. There, they discovered a strange above-ground cemetery filled with tiny coffins. The bodies inside were adult-sized but no more than four feet long, with miniature bows, arrows, and bone lances placed alongside them. Foxe, unnerved by the discovery, wrote in his journal, "God send me better adventures than these." To this day, the identity of those tiny people remains unknown.Fast forward to 1911, when Russian explorer Captain Yvolnoff led a scientific expedition into the Arctic. According to a newspaper article published in 1930, the team discovered small human footprints in the snow. Following the tracks, they found a burrow from which a tiny man emerged. He stood roughly three and a half feet tall, with an angular head and large ears. Soon, two dozen others followed, all dressed in fine animal-skin clothing. The group communicated in an unfamiliar language and lived by catching fish with their bare hands—eating only the backs and discarding the rest.Inuit oral tradition has long spoken of these tiny beings. The Inuit call them Inuaguliks or Inuarutligak—legendary dwarves who live in underground burrows, wear two sets of clothes for different tasks, and have the ability to shapeshift into animals like seals or hares. Inuit elders say these little people are playful tricksters, known to tease hunters and travel incredible distances in impossibly short amounts of time.Perhaps the most recent encounter occurred in 2017, when Anthony Roche visited his girlfriend's family cabin near Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. While napping, Roche and his girlfriend woke to the sound of footsteps on the deck. The door opened, and standing in the doorway was a tiny human figure, no taller than three feet, dressed in a ragged orange coat and caribou-skin pants. The being quickly vanished, leaving the couple bewildered. When they shared the story with their family, they were told they'd been visited by an Inuagulik.So, are these Arctic elves simply the product of myths passed down through generations? Or are these sightings evidence of something more extraordinary? From ancient Viking records to modern-day encounters, the mystery of Arctic elves endures.Join us for our festive Christmas special as we unwrap the mystery of Elf Sightings in the Arctic in our latest episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, available now on Spotify and YouTube.

Faire renaître la glace en Arctique : une idée audacieuse portée par la start-up britannique Real Ice. Depuis deux ans, cette entreprise collabore avec des scientifiques pour tester une technologie capable de ralentir la fonte des glaciers. Selon CNN, les premiers essais ont été menés en Alaska, suivis d'une phase plus avancée à Cambridge Bay, au Canada. En janvier dernier, Real Ice a observé des résultats encourageants, affirmant que la glace s'était épaissie de 10 cm en seulement dix jours sur les zones expérimentées.Le concept ? Des pompes électriques submersibles ramènent de l'eau de mer à la surface, où elle gèle, créant une couche supplémentaire de glace. À terme, Real Ice ambitionne d'épaissir la banquise sur 600 000 kilomètres carrés – une zone deux fois plus grande que la Californie – grâce à des drones sous-marins alimentés par de l'hydrogène vert. Mais ce projet titanesque a un prix : entre 5 et 6 milliards de dollars par an.Si l'idée séduit certains, elle soulève aussi de vives critiques. En novembre dernier, un rapport cosigné par des scientifiques alerte sur les risques environnementaux des projets de géo-ingénierie polaire. La professeure Liz Bagshaw, spécialiste du changement environnemental polaire, juge l'initiative de Real Ice "moralement douteuse" et "éthiquement irresponsable". Elle craint des effets imprévus, comme une perturbation de l'écosystème marin et de la croissance des algues liée à l'épaisseur de la glace. Face aux critiques, Andrea Ceccolini, co-directeur général de Real Ice, reconnaît ces risques mais défend son projet : "Ne rien faire serait encore plus dramatique pour les écosystèmes."

#1243 Often we create excuses for ourselves to mask the fear that's actually holding us back. Azreer Gill lives in Cambridge Bay, Canada. He's within the Arctic Circle, and, as you can imagine, that comes with some challenges. But are these obstacles a legitimate reason not to start a business that could save lives? Like many people in his community, Azreer has struggled with addiction. He is now seven years sober and wants to help people by sharing his recovery story, but he needs a push to get started. We discuss why podcasting is the perfect medium for him and how he can use it to build a targeted audience. Azreer does stand-up, so he's already a great storyteller. When we use our experiences and define a problem better than our listeners, it's natural for them to come to us for solutions. This episode is a great reminder to look under the hood and understand the source of your limiting beliefs.

Diane Gionet-Haché, is a mother and grandmother. She lived most of her life in New Brunswick on the east coast of Canada. She started a goat farm, knowing nothing about them, built a business. She grew the farm to roughly 200 goats and then sold it after 10 years. At the age of 50 she fulfilled a dream of living in the North, by moving to Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. She then borrowed some money from her daughter and got her Class 1 license (to drive 18-wheelers). She then became one of very few women who drove the Ice Road — for 7 winters. She also worked in the mining industry. But not in the front office. She was a heavy equipment operator and worked underground and open pit. At 62, she finished her goal of kayaking the Northwest Passage in the Arctic. It was 500 kilometers paddling from Cambridge Bay to Gjoa Haven and took 2 months. She did this final leg solo. She is now processing copper cable to sell and raise funds for the Yellowknife Women's Society to help women impacted by domestic abuse. The recent donation just about doubled the Society's annual revenue. A book about her life will be published in summer 2021. ______ If you enjoyed this episode please leave a rating or review here: https://www.lovethepodcast.com/thearena This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

In today's episode we chat with Mr. Chris Crooks, one of my favourite high-school teachers of all-time. A few years ago Mr. Crooks moved from Southern Ontario to Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. Mr. Crooks has always been a fantastic storyteller, so our conversation was quite interesting. We covered topics like housing, food prices, his community, and many other interesting topics.

Well Cambridge Bay, you really did it this time. Iqaluit Mayor Kenneth Bell tweeted a picture of a note posted on the door of the Cambridge Bay post office, informing the public that it's employee, Bo, had quit due to "continued rudeness." We feel you, Bo.

In Tanya Tagaqs außergewöhnlichem Buch, in dem sich Prosapassagen, Gedichte und Illustrationen abwechseln, ist so einiges los. Molche werden in den Mund genommen, Lemminge bauen sich kleine Höhlen in den langen Haaren eines Mädchens, und als die Protagonistin eines Tages ins Eiswasser eintaucht, kommt es zur sexuellen Vereinigung mit den Nordlichtern. Klingt abgefahren? Ist es auch! Im Großen und Ganzen erzählt "Eisfuchs" die Coming-of-Age-Geschichte eines Inuit-Mädchens, das im hohen Norden Kanadas aufwächst, in Cambridge Bay am Polarmeer. Doch anstatt einer idyllischen Kindheit gewährt uns Tagaq verstörende Einblicke in ein Leben, das geprägt ist von sexuellem Missbrauch und Trauma, von Inuit-Mythen, Alkohol und ernüchternder Realität. Ein Buch, das nicht ganz leicht zu besprechen war und uns etwas ratlos zurückgelassen hat.

Clara Evalik's father came from nomadic beginnnings. His early life took him from Alaska, to the Western Arctic, to the Central Arctic, where he operated a trading post. Clara's mother was raised on the land and taught her children how to make their own clothing, maintain their language and to eat animals harvested from the land. Clara grew up in Ikaluktutiak, Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, in Canada's Arctic. Her family lived in town during the winter months and on the land at camp in the summer where they harvested Arctic Char for winter supplies, as well as eating other traditional foods such as geese, muskox and caribou. Clara's parents emphasized education as well as traditional values.They were lessons she used to become an executive in the governments of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. In this episode we discuss balancing the old with the new, Clara's involvement in the creation of the territory of Nunavut, the connection of the Inuit to the land, achieving success in the modern world, and the healing power for Inuit women who recently participated in a workshop on how to make the puhitaq, sunburst trim for the hoods of parkas, a special symbol of Inuit womens identity. We also have a surprise visit from Claras grandson.

Host Rob Feagan discusses his fond memories of growing up in small Northern communities, the humour and wisdom of elders, moving South and cultural confusion, physical and sexual abuse, moving back North, living in Cambridge Bay and returning home to the Mackenzie Delta.

Medan polarisarna smälter reser röstkonstnären Tanya Tagaq världen runt och strupsjunger fram hur vildrenar springer, vargar ylar och människor viskar och vrålar. Allt började med ett paket från mor. Inuiternas strupsång får nytt liv i den mångfaldigt prisbelönta röstkonstnären Tanya Tagaqs arktiska punk. Hon har samarbetat med världsartister som Björk och Kronos Quartet och hyllats av recensenter världen för hennes hypnotiska konserter där hon sjunger fram de arktiska djuren, vidderna, permafrosten och isarna. Med total intensitet smeker och piskar Tanya Tagaq fram existensen nära Nordpolen. De långa mörka vintrarna och de långa ljusa somrarna. En stillhet som nästan är högljudd. När en stor fågel flyger över ens huvud är ljudet mäktigt därför att tystnaden runtom är så total.Kulturchock i Halifax Den unga Tanya Tagaq lämnade tidigt sin lilla stad Cambridge Bay i Nunavut i nordöstra Kanada. Staden ligger på en ö som saknar vägar och skolor på högre nivå än lågstadiet. Senare flyttade Tanya till universitetsstaden Halifax för att studera konst. Det var en enorm kulturchock för henne. Hon längtade hela tiden hem, till Nunavut.Så en dag fick hon ett paket av sin mor på posten. Det var en C-kassett med uråldrig strupsång med inuitkvinnor. Sången baserar sig på ut- och inandning i ett snabbt tempo, ljud som kan låta som djur i strupen.Tanya Tagaq hade aldrig tidigare hört det här sångsättet. Inuiternas strupsång var under hennes uppväxt ännu förbjuden av kyrkan. Den betraktades som farligt förförande. Hon började öva strupsång i duschen för att dämpa sin hemlängtan och sången kändes så bekant, som om hon hört den miljoner gånger tidigare. Det här är hennes historia.
