"There’s gold, and it’s haunting and haunting;
It’s luring me on as of old;
Yet it isn’t the gold that I’m wanting
So much as just finding the gold.
It’s the great, big, broad land ‘way up yonder,
It’s the forests where silence has lease;
It’s the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It’s the stillness that fills me with peace."

— Excerpt from The Spell of the Yukon by Robert W. Service (via frontierbuilding)

For the first time, the Bible has been translated into an Inuit language. A group of Inuit Christians in the Canadian territory Nunavut completed the 34-year translation project this week.

One of the main difficulties the translators faced was the translation of objects that aren’t found in the Arctic such as certain trees that don’t grow in the treeless Arctic.

Plant and animal names were the biggest difficulty, and in many cases general terms such as ‘tree’ were used. In other cases, English lone words were used such as the word ‘camel.’ Read more.
