Nunavut Travel & Holidays GuideCapital City: Iqaluit Nunavut is an huge territory the size of Western Europe but with a population of barely 30,000 people. It comprises a large portion of the northern tip of the North American continent. The Danish territory of Greenland is its northern neighbour. The name is a translation of our land in the language of the Inuit people, the territory's major ethnic group. Nunavut consists of part of the mainland plus a large number of islands in Hudson Bay and the Arctic Ocean. The territory was separated from the North West Territory in 1999. Access is by air only, which means all goods have to be flown in and that leads to high prices for food and consumables. All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) and trucks are used during the short summer, but for most of the year when there is snow on the ground, snowmobiles are the usual mode of transport. This is the land of the Midnight Sun where in summer, the daylight lasts forever. Being a remote wilderness area, the territory is a highlight for hunters and anglers seeking new experiences. |

"Floe edge" tourism is a unique adventure in this part of the world where you stand in isolation at the very edge where the sea meets the retreating ice edge. Any visit to Nunavut should include taking the time to see the arts and crafts of the Inuit people. Crafts vary from place to place, but the quality of the art, the skill of the carving and the artistry in the leather garments makes Inuit arts and crafts highly sought after.
