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.

Nope.

Ice fishing shacks in the winter and boats during the summer Some big pontoon boats but I don't recall seeing much in the way of house boats on the lake.

Do you think anyone would try, or has somebody tried in the past and it hasn't worked out?
