Requested move

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Move. Jafeluv (talk) 23:29, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Arctic Bay, NunavutArctic Bay — While some or all of these may have been named for a geographic feature the predominant use of the name is for the community. Currently there are no articles for these as a geographic feature. Currently all undisambiguated names are redirects to the community. Enter CBW, waits for audience applause, not a sausage. 01:03, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What Does This Mean?

[edit]

"With the thawing process of permafrost, some communities such as Arctic Bay may be affected by flooding due to the melting of sea ice and erosion due to the mechanical process of temperature changes and their own variation.[7]"

I feel like something important is intended by this sentence, but it is garbled. I don't want to just delete it. Anyone else want to fix it? Is it trying to say that the flooding is caused by melting permafrost, or by melting sea ice? Granted, it may be that both happen simultaneously, and may be related, and both may cause flooding, but that is not what the sentence says. And what does "their own variation" refer to ... temperature variation of some sort?

I think it is probable that there are two effects being discussed, which are flooding and erosion. If so, the sentence may need to be broken up to say that more clearly.

Maybe something like this is intended: "Communities like Arctic Bay may be affected by flooding due to the melting of permafrost and sea ice, and increased erosion due to mechanical processes associated with freeze-thaw cycles." However, that has speculative elements, and would be original research unless a reference can be cited.

Taquito1. I live in the Arctic and I have no idea what they sentence means nor the source. If the permafrost melts then our buildings fall down. If the sea ice melts then nothing happens because it's ice floating on the sea. However, if the glacier ice in Greenland and the Antarctic ice melts then we get flooding. But how much. Greenland melts then about 7 m (23 ft) but Antarctica and it's 61 m (200 ft) (If the polar ice caps melted, how much would the oceans rise?).

Wrong photos

[edit]

I saw today that a number of photos that appear for Arctic Bay, Baffin Island when you look it up on Google are not of Arctic Bay, but in fact, from Adventdalen just outside Longyearbyen on Svalbard. So very Arctic, but not a bay or Baffin Island. How do I know? I live on Svalbard. The location photographed is about 2 km from my house. I have screen shots of the photos if anyone wants to know which ones they are. Though I suspect any Baffin Islander could look at them and also know that is not where they live. :) 88.90.191.51 (talk) 13:50, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you could list the photos shown at Category:Arctic Bay, Nunavut that you think are not from the community. The health centre one looks like the picture at the GNU web site. The airport terminal and the welcome sign both say "Arctic Bay". CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 18:19, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
