Archeologists have found the remains of an ancient camp on a remote High Arctic island that dates back more than 4,000 years.

They offer surprising new insights about the first people who lived near what is now the Canada-Greenland border and journeyed to take advantage of a rich new ecosystem that formed around the time.

The Paleo-Inuit archeological site was found in Kitsissut, a rocky cluster of cliff-edged islands between Greenland and Ellesmere Island.
