Northwest Territories & Nunavut
These regions are some of the last unspoiled wilderness areas in the world, where ancient traditions, midnight sun, dazzling aurora borealis, untouched landscapes and amazing wildlife co-exist like nowhere else on earth.
Elu Inlet, Nunavut
Elu Inlet is situated just south of Victoria Island in Nunavut on the northernmost edge of the North American Continent. The Elu Inlet area offers world class hiking, boating, fishing, photography, bird watching, wildlife viewing, archaeological observation and incredible flora. Feel the sense of awe and discovery that the first European explorers felt on the 1821 Franklin Expedition in search of the Northwest Passage as you gaze over lands that are still unknown to most.
Foxe Basin, Igloolik, Nunavut
Foxe Basin is rich in wildlife and the community of Igloolik is alive with culture. Located between Baffin Island and the Melville Peninsula, Igloolik is home to arctic wildlife including walrus herds, bowhead whales, polar bears and important bird habitats.
Baffin Island, Nunavut
The east coast of Baffin Island, from Pond Inlet to Qikiqtarjuaq, is one of the best places to see icebergs. Pond Inlet is located on the northeastern shore of Baffin Island. In the springtime, where the frozen ocean meets the open sea, an area known as floe edge is formed, creating one of nature’s most amazing landscapes. Polar bears, a variety of species of seals, sea birds, narwhals, bowhead and beluga whales often frequent these icy waters.
Resolute Bay, Nunavut
Resolute Bay, also known as Qausuittuq – 'place with no dawn' – is a small community which provides the starting point for many expeditions to the North Pole and also to Ellesmere Island National Park.
Nahanni National Park, NW Territories
Nahanni National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of Canada’s greatest treasures. The Nahanni River is a wonderful wilderness river, flowing through Canada’s deepest river canyons, past hot springs and unique geological features.
