Except for the 5 permanent residents. lolz

Which is your family probably. Which you rape probably.

town full of inbreds probably..

Boy do you ever catch on quickly.

Alert is a research station, and is the Northernmost inhabited town on Earth...something like 25Kms from the North Pole (which isn't true North, BTW).

Also, it's not 24 sunrise, it's 24 hr daylight. The sun rises once, and stays up for a long, long time.

I'm not quick on jokes.

Barrow supposidly has a very bad problem with weed, ecstasy, and meth.

Give people nothing to do and theyll find a way

Whaaa, I don't believe you. Weed, maybe...Where did you hear about the other stuff?

From Wiki:

quote:

True north is compared to magnetic north (the direction of the magnetic north pole) and grid north (the direction northwards along the grid lines of a map projection). The direction of true north is marked in the skies by the north celestial pole. For most practical purposes, this is the position of Polaris. However, due to the precession of the Earth's axis, true north rotates in an arc that takes approximately 25,000 years to complete. In 2002, Polaris was at its closest approach to the celestial north pole. 2,000 years ago, the closest star to the celestial north pole was Thuban. On maps issued by the United States Geological Survey, and the U.S. military, true north is marked with a line terminating in a five-pointed star. Maps issued by the Ordnance Survey contain a diagram showing the difference between true north, grid north and magnetic north at a point on the sheet.

This is known as declination. Any decent topographical map will have a declination chart, allowing you to calculate how far off the North marked on the map the Earth has moved. Something like 'Annual change decreasing 2 degrees, 6 minutes.....etc'.

Doesn't seem like a huge deal, and over short distances it's not, but a 1 degree change in vector over 100m will put you off target by 1m. If you are hiking 100kms, that 1 degree change puts you well away from your intended photo op.

I actually think living in some of those places would be kinda nice... for a week or so.

So basically it'd be akin to a camping trip.

Pretty much.

Which is a shame because culture only develop when there's enough free time for bums to paint, compose or wonder why the hell it is that an apple has just fallen on their head.

Bums don't hunt! Well, not before the food is cooked anyway.
