Geography
Naajaat Island is located in Tasiusaq Bay, in the South-Central part of Upernavik Archipelago. The inner waterways of the bay separate it from Innaarsuit Island in the west, and from the mainland Qassersuaq Peninsula in the southeast. The island is part of a small group of larger skerries, trailed by Naajaat Kangilleq in the northeast, and Sanningassorsuaq in the southeast. The narrow channels between the three islands provide good harbourage for the settlement.[1]

gollark: As in, create canvas with relative origin, then place objects relative to origin.
gollark: The canvases use relative coords, though I think with a fixed origin which you can recenter.
gollark: Don't think so.
gollark: The problem is if you're moving around, want to use a mouse, and want stuff fixed in world space.
