    Interesting, and well-done video. Narration was a bit monotone, sounds like you're rushing. The pronunciations of the Inuit names were acceptable, though if you do the research, you might find a phonetic pronunciation code online somewhere (I understand CBC announcers have one). I learned something I didn't know before so, well done.

    You have an instinct for doing videos about all my favourite Canadian geographical oddities. The Belcher Islands count among them. I always thought of them as a fingerprint, rather than spaghetti. Many thanks for the details about the old cult murders. I had heard a few vague things about it from Cree elders, but never come across that book ---- which I will now try to obtain. Few people realize that the islands in Hudson's Bay and, yes, James Bay belong to Nunavut. Akimiski Island, a large uninhabited island in James Bay is part of Nunavut. The southernmost point of Nunavut is Stag Island, in the mouth of the Nottaway River of western Quebec, located at 51°39′01″N 79°04′28″W ---- further south than Saskatoon!

Thanks for showing us what they actually look like. I wonder if anyone has walked the spaghetti shape of the islands from one end to the other. Those tragic religious murders underline what Robert Service said: "The Arctic trails have their secret tales that would make your blood run cold".

    Good job. I remember the crashed DC3 near the abandoned Isachsen Weather Station on Ellef Ringnes Island. The Ringnes brothers Ellef and Amaud were Norwegian brewers that helped sponsor Sverdrup's expecition in 1898, so they got both their names on islands. The company still exists today. The only pic that is a bit weird is the photo of Copper Inuit from around Coronation Gulf way south of these islands. A photo of North Baffin Inuit would have been more appropriate in this case.
