Information for Travelers
Officially established in 1999, Nunavut is a territory in northern Canada with special rights for the Inuit who live there.
It is bordered on the west by the Northwest Territories, on the east by Greenland and on the south by the provinces of Manitoba,
Ontario and
Quebec.
Nunavut covers the entire eastern part of northern Canada and is a wonderful place to learn about the attractions, history, culture, nature and the best places to visit in Canada's far north.
The capital is Iqaluit, located on Canada's largest island, Baffin Island.
Nunavut carries on a lively export trade to the main tourist centers of the Canadian south, including
Quebec City,
Toronto and
Vancouver.
Most of the territory is situated above the tree line, in a predominantly treeless tundra region with dwarf shrubs, grasses, mosses and lichens.
With its breathtaking scenery, the warm hospitality of the indigenous Inuit people and the countless opportunities for a unique vacation experience, Baffin Island is a strong draw for tourists.
But it can hardly be said that it suffers from visitor invasions, which is perfect for those who enjoy extremely remote and nature-inspired adventure trips.
Fjords cut inland from the coast.
Culture
With an area of 1.9 million square kilometers, Nunavut is almost eight times the size of the
United Kingdom and covers about a fifth of Canada's total area.
Craft and craft companies have achieved extraordinary success in Nunavut.
Produced mainly in small workshops, the territory's leather goods, jewelry and ivory have great appeal for tourists visiting this and other regions of Canada.
