An excerpt from a miscellany of the Canadian North. The full set appears in the print edition of the November 2007 issue.

4 million people in eight countries live in or close to the Arctic. At 130,000, Canada’s Arctic population is the second smallest of any Arctic nation (only Denmark’s, in Greenland and the Faroe Islands, is smaller). Russia’s is the largest at almost 2 million, and Alaska is home to 670,000.

I Trust this should be "Minus 27.2 C" in item 27 of Arctic Facts, Figures and Archives, quoted below:

"The average forecast high in January is 27.2°C;"
