[:ja]デービッド・サンジャック宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したカナダのヌナビクです。6月中旬になると雪も解けています。
ヌナビクはカナダ、ケベック州の北部に位置するイヌイット居住地域です。居住者約12,000人の約9割がイヌイットとなっており、14の村に分散して住んでいます。豊富な鉱物資源がありますが、1975年のジェームズ湾・北ケベック協定により、このエリアを開発しようとする探鉱会社は、たとえ州政府の許可を得ている場合でも地元の承認が必要となります。

[Earthview Wonders] No.1056: Nunavik, Canada🇨🇦
Astronaut David Saint-Jacques captured from ISS Nunavik, Canada. Snow is gone by mid-June.
Nunavik #ᓄᓇᕕᒃ comprises the northern third of the province of Quebec. Covering a vast land north of the 55th parallel, it is the homeland of the Inuit of Quebec. Almost all of the approx. 12,000 inhabitants of the region, of whom 90% are Inuit, live in 14 northern villages on the coast of Nunavik and in the Cree reserved land. Nunavik is rich in mineral deposits, but since the site is situated in the subarctic permafrost region, it requires special construction and mining techniques to protect the fragile permafrost and to address other environmental issues.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
