The northernmost mosque in North America has opened in Inuvik, in Canada's
Northwest Territories, where there is a growing Muslim population.
After being assembled in the city of Winnipeg, the building travelled some
4,500km (2,800 miles) along both rivers and roads to get to its destination.
The mosque, which has been nicknamed "the little mosque on the tundra", doubles
as a community centre.
Inuvik has roughly 3,200 residents, some 80 of whom are Muslim.
They are mainly Sunni Muslims from Lebanon, Egypt and Sudan who were drawn to
northern Canada by job opportunities.
'Everyone is welcome'
"It's a very personal achievement for all of us because we were in a small
building, the old one, and now we have this one," Ahmed al-Khalaf told the
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
The new 1,554-sq-ft (473-sq-m) building is a step up from the one-bedroom
trailer Muslims in the town have used for prayer services over the past 10
years.
At one point during the mosque's journey to the small town in the Arctic
Circle, the building almost tipped over but was saved by a road construction
crew.
"For the whole town of Inuvik, it's another new building in town, and
everybody's welcome here," Mr Khalaf said.
