Eureka, Nunavut

Eureka is a small research base on Fosheim Peninsula, Ellesmere Island, Qikiqtaaluk Region, in the Canadian territory of Nunavut. It is located on the north side of Slidre Fiord, which enters Eureka Sound farther west. It is the third-northernmost permanent research community in the world. The only two farther north are Alert, which is also on Ellesmere Island, and Nord, in Greenland. Eureka has the lowest average annual temperature and least precipitation of any weather station in Canada. The base consists of three areas, the Eureka Aerodrome which includes "Fort Eureka" (the quarters for military personnel maintaining the island's communications equipment), the Environment Canada Weather Station, and the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory (PEARL), formerly the Arctic Stratospheric Ozone Observatory (AStrO). PEARL is operated by a consortium of Canadian university researchers and government agencies known as the Canadian Network for Detection of Atmospheric Change.〔(CANDAC )〕 PEARL announced it would cease full-time year-round operation as of April 30, 2012 due to lack of funding, however this decision was reversed in May 2013 with the announcement of new funds.〔(High Arctic research station saved by new funding )〕 Eureka's postal code is X0A 0G0. Its area code is 867.
==Base history==
Eureka was founded on April 11, 1947, as part of a requirement to set up a network of Arctic weather stations. On this date, of supplies were airlifted to a promising spot on Ellesmere Island and five prefabricated Jamesway huts were constructed. Regular weather observations began on January 1, 1948. The station expanded over the years. At its peak, in the 1970s, there were at least fifteen staff on site; in 2005, it reported a permanent population of zero with at least 8 staff on a continuous rotational basis.
There have been several generations of buildings. The latest operations centre, with work areas and staff quarters in one large structure, was completed in 2005.
