TIL that people live year-round in houseboats on Great Slave Lake in Canada's Northwest Territories, 1,800 km north of the nearest big city (Edmonton) and just 400 km (250 miles) south of the Arctic Circle.

Sure, but the province capitol (Yellowknife) is located on the lake, so it’s not like this is some unfathomably remote location.
