The news and political satire show I like to watch did a segment on the northernmost point, Alert, Nunavut where the military base there is collecting data on climate change. There are standing jokes here of saying Nunavut and Allauvut, Someavut and Restavut. I recommend using them sparingly because first time is funny, second time is silly
