Description

The Eureka Weather Station was established on this day, on Ellesmere Island in the High Arctic. It became one of Canada’s northernmost scientific and meteorological outposts. The station supported weather observation and broader Arctic research in a very remote environment. Over time, Eureka played a role in improving the understanding of northern climate conditions. Its creation reflects Canada’s long-term efforts to monitor and operate in the Arctic.
