My Fountain of Youth

In the four-dimensional space-time continuum, it makes sense that the Fountain of Youth must be far away.

Can you even get there from here (no matter where “here” is)? There are no roads. Or at least, as Google Maps politely informs you: Sorry, we could not calculate driving directions to Inukjuak, Quebec, Canada.

The tiny village (1,757 inhabitants, 439 dwellings) is one of the northernmost settlements in the Inuit-populated region called Nunavik — itself thinly populated (about 13,000 people), though comprising a third of Quebec’s total land area.
