    Colin Fraser steps out of his office and heads down to check the water intake for the desalinization plant at B2Gold’s marine port at Bathurst Inlet.

Vikings bathed daily in freezing water and the practice has centuries of history in Eastern Europe and Nordic countries.

    Jeela Palluq-Cloutier sat at her dining table in Iqaluit, staring at her aging MacBook Air. One side of her laptop screen listed English sentences, while the other featured Inuktitut and Inuinnaqtun translations. She rated each sentence for accuracy from zero to 100 per cent. “War in Afghanistan” became “pandemic outbreak in Arviat.” Zero. “Prime rib” became “prime minister.” Zero.
