Cambridge Bay is a small Inuit hamlet in Nunavut, Canada's northernmost territory. With a population of just 1,500, the community is remarkably isolated, frigid, and car-less, but in a few months, it'll be accessible via
Google Street View.
On Monday, Google
began collecting imagery of Cambridge Bay using a camera-equipped tricycle known as the Street View trike, pictured above. The village has only a few streets, though it will take several months to finalize its imagery and upload it to Street View. Cambridge Bay won't be the northernmost location on Street View — that title belongs to Alaska's Deadhorse Airport, which sits about one degree further north — though it may very well be the most remote, accessible only by air or, during a brief summer period, by barge.
