    I find it more incredible that Muslims live up there in the first place.

    This is a nice piece of propaganda by the CBC, but the mosque in Inuvik, N.W.T. at 68�21?42?N 133�43?50?W? is in reality the 3rd most northern mosque in the world. The others are in Norway and Russia.

    Alnor Senter Mosque
    Troms�, Norway
    69�39?15.01?N 18�57?36.25?E

    Nurd Kamal Mosque
    Norilsk, Russia
    69�20?27.19?N 88�12?4.21?E

    Oh and here is a little nugget of info

    The Canadian Arctic's northernmost mosque will become operational in Autumn 2010 after being built in Winnipeg and moved 4,000 km (2,500 mi) by truck and barge. Although the CBC says that "Once the mosque arrives in Inuvik, it will become the world's northernmost mosque." there are mosques in Norilsk, Russia; and Troms�, Norway, both of which are further north than Inuvik
