OK Canada I'm in need of your assistance. I have this cover with a buffalo on it marked Astro Lab. What is it? I'm more curious than anything I suppose? Thank you.

I'm still scratching my head over the statement "Garden spot of the Arctic".

From the Wikipedia article on Eureka, NU:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eureka,_Nunavut

Quote:
Eureka has been described as "The Garden Spot of the Arctic" due to the flora and fauna abundant around the Eureka area, more so than anywhere else in the High Arctic. Fauna include musk oxen, Arctic wolves, Arctic foxes, Arctic hares, and lemmings. In addition, summer nesting geese, ducks, owls, loons, ravens, gulls and many other smaller birds nest, raise their young, and return south in August.

It is hard for me to believe that the U.S. would willingly abandon an oasis such as Eureka.

Spent two years working in the arctic, has to be one of the most beautiful places on earth during the summertime or the first week of august lol.
Muskox makes for some real good eating.
Its also one of the worst places during the winter 24 hour darkness and a little cold.
