EXCLUSIVE Inside eerie abandoned weather station above the magnetic north pole in Canada that is a frozen time capsule from the 1970s
Gripped by a deep freeze for most of the year, a remote weather station in Canada remains eerily intact decades after its inhabitants departed, as DailyMail.com's Sadie Whitelocks recently discovered on an expedition
Isachsen is located on the western shore of Ellef Ringnes Island in the territory of Nunavut in Canada and it was selected for its brutal weather patterns - deemed the worst in the country
The record low, which bit on March 16, 1956, was -65 °F (-53.9 °C), while in the summer months, the temperature just peeps above freezing before plunging down to bone-chilling depths again
The far flung base operated from April 3, 1948, through September 19, 1978, and it was the third station in a joint initiative by the Canadian-American weather observation program
Sadie ended up landing at the base's icy runway via a private plane charter, as she was taking part in a ski expedition collecting snow and ice samples above the 1996 magnetic North Pole in a bid to better understand the impact of climate change on Arctic sea ice
