The hamlet of Pond Inlet is a bit
grim to look at I'm afraid, built in industrial estate chic in a
limited palette of drab colours. I guess it's all shipped
probably in pre-fabricated and then erected. There are big gaps between the buildings
partly due to reducing fire risks, if one catches fire in the
winter when there is a distinct lack of water in liquid form,
very dry air and possibly a breeze to fan the flames, then
there's not much that can be done other than to stand and watch
until it goes out. A big gap to the next building means that the
fire is less likely to spread.
