The 'Knife? Bah! Try *Inuvik*. I had to go there once on a consulting gig
for three days in late February/early March. Damn sun didn't even make it
above the horizon until about 11:00 A.M., and it set around 2:00 P.M. (And a
burger, fries and milk cost me $18.00 at the Inuvik airport, a surprisingly
modern and well-equipped little setup [it has to be -- it's a forward staging
area for NORAD, so it's got primo everything...]).
Oh yeah, didn't have a single opportunity to use my OM-4 there, though I wish I
had... (Obligatory Oly content.)
