Did You Know?
Iqaluit, capital of Nunavut, is not connected by road to any other community — everything arrives by air or on the summer sealift. The territory covers about 1.9 million square kilometres of land with around 40,000 residents.
The clock: Iqaluit keeps Eastern Time. Nunavut experimented with a single territory-wide time zone in 1999 and reverted after residents complained.
Iqaluit lies at 68.5°W. Its time zone, UTC−5, is built around the 75°W meridian. The 6.5° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 26 minutes behind the sun: solar noon arrives at about 11:34 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 34 minutes and pushing solar noon to 12:34.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 20h 50m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 4h 21m. The swing between them is 16h 30m. Close to the Arctic or Antarctic circle, the year swings hard between long light and long dark.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Iqaluit the sun comes up earliest on 21 June at 02:10, while the latest sunset waits until 23 June at 23:01. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Iqaluit that civil twilight runs about 47 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 76 minutes at the solstice.
