This better known as Frobisher Bay for those not familiar with the Inuit language. Airbus does most of their cold weather testing here. I flew an unconscious patient from my ship in there in 1971 and it was certainly one of the more inhospitable places on the planet even in late August.
Iqaluit inhospitable? Not by a longshot - it's the capital & seat of govt of Nunavut. Maybe consider Resolute where I grew up - hmmmm. Bears and seals and a large CF base
Probably equal to Churchill, MB on Hudson Bay. Neither destination is on my list of January vacation spots.
Churchill is a desert oasis compated to Iqaluit :). Here's a current Nolinor flight from YKF to YFB. Iqaluit is getting right up into the Arctic. Its airport is often used as an ETOPS alternate for polar flights to Asia.

He he he he, I have heard Churchill called a lot of things, but Oasis?
Maybe an oasis for polar bears? Churchill claims to be polar bear capital of the world.
It is. Lived there for several years. At times the bears outnumber residents and they are not afraid.
