"Always dark... no sun... snow flying all the time, terrible storms, cold, very cold, and a great deal of ice there."

- Inuit description of Hell, recounted on Baffin Island, 1862

quote

'Yet in a little close, however keen

The winter comes, I find a patch of green,

Where robins, by the miser winter made

Domestic, flit and perch upon the spade"

- John Clare
