Nunavut is a large territory covering 353,610 square kilometres of land and spanning three time zones. There are no roads to link most communities so travel between communities is done by airplane. Within communities snowmobiles and ATV's are the vehicles of choice. Dog teams are still used in winter and boats of all sizes travel during open water season. Internet connections from modern homes keep the residents up to date while the igloo is still used when out on the land. Twenty-six communities and a number of outpost settlements are home to the Inuit and non-Inuit of Nunavut, with populations ranging from 120 in the Hamlet of Grise Fiord on Ellesmere Island to 4000 and growing in Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut. Outpost settlements may have as few as 15 people or as many as 80, depending on the time of year and whether school is in or out.
