Long-delayed naval facility in the High Arctic now postponed to 2023
Nanisivik, Nunavut - The deep-water wharf that will serve as a refuelling hub for Canadian sovereignty patrols in the Arctic is slowly sinking for reasons that only became apparent several years after Ottawa announced Nanisivik would be this country's northernmost naval facility. In 2010, measurements showed the Baffin Island wharf had sunk about two metres since construction in the mid-1970s. Engineers went "searching for plausible ways to explain why the structure had settled so much," says a technical paper on the matter presented to a 2013 civil engineering conference in Alaska. In 2011, exploratory drilling at Nanisivik - 700 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle - discovered a surprise: a deep layer of clay far below the wharf. The clay is believed to be compressing, which would account for the sinking. Photo by Steven Chase / The Globe and Mail. December, 2012
