I was curious about Alert’s name, and assumed it was because the town served as an alerting system for something, but I looked it up and turns out it’s cause a ship called HMS Alert wintered there.

Also I’ve only ever heard it pronounced the French way: “ah-LAIR”
I wish I knew people who talked about Alert (or Alert as I guess I will now start pronouncing it).
While we’re at it? It’s actually pronounced gif.
Wow that is remarkably disappointing. How could such a savage and uninvited place have such a scary name? By chance, essentially.
