Nunavut

Nunavut is one of Canada’s most remote and compelling regions, home to the legendary Northwest Passage.

• Narwhal + polar bear encounters: Spot Arctic wildlife in its natural habitat, often with expert local guides who understand the rhythms of land and sea.
• The Northern Lights: From autumn through spring, the aurora borealis illuminates Nunavut’s skies in spectacular, shifting waves of colour.
• Inuit culture: With more than 4,000 years of history, Inuit communities share rich traditions – from carving and throat singing to storytelling and seasonal hunting.
• Baffin Island’s wild landscapes: A dramatic mix of granite cliffs, glaciers and fjords – ideal for adventurous travellers and wilderness photographers.
• The Northwest Passage: Follow the fabled route sought by Franklin and Amundsen, and explore its deep connection to Inuit and exploration history.
• Bylot Island: A remote, uninhabited island off northern Baffin – a haven for nesting seabirds, vast glaciers and pristine Arctic beauty within Sirmilik National Park.
• Ellesmere Island: One of the world’s northernmost land masses – expect towering ice shelves, musk ox herds and a surreal, otherworldly landscape bordering the North Pole.
• Pond Inlet: Often called the ‘jewel of the north’, this welcoming Inuit hamlet offers striking views of mountains and icebergs, and rich opportunities for cultural immersion.
