Nunavut
www.nunavuttourism.com
Nunavut became Canada's newest territory on April 1, 1999. Its population is primarily Inuit, a culture that has existed here for over a thousand years.
Nunavut occupies one-fifth of Canada's landmass, but its population tops out at 29,000. For those who love the pristine, unspoiled beauty of Mother Nature, Nunavut is a perfect vacation choice.
The best time to visit this area is in May and June, when the sun warms the land and the ocean ice breaks. Visitors to Nunavut can take their pick of outdoor adventure: hiking, kite skiing, parasailing, mountain/rock climbing, canoeing, river kayaking and rafting are among the offerings.
There are four national parks in Nunavut: Auyuittuq, Quttinirpaaq, Sirmilik and Ukkusiksalik. Visitors here can see icebergs, polar bears, caribou, musk oxen and many other types of wildlife not commonly seen in more populated parts of the country. Take a cyber trip to Nunavut Parks to see the territorial parks in this area.
