I was looking on google earth ... looks to be a lot  of  sea planes about .. that would prevent any high mast ??
 
the  location looks a bit tricky .......a low long wire may be good .. but  can you  get one out , looks to have roads all round ?

I would recommend a loop antenna, there are various designs around such as Jim M0BMU's design, http://www.wireless.org.uk/BPloops2.pdf
Even though you're in the middle of nowhere there, you should stand a chance of getting some of the US 500kHz stations ( www.500kc.com ) going under the calls WD2XSH and WE2XGR with numerical suffixes identifying the individual stations.
We in the UK have 10W ERP but it won't be easy to get right over to you...
Maybe you could contact some of the US stations in the North and do some test with them first?

Good luck!
