The Kitikmeot spans the northern mainland of Canada to the heart of the Northwest Passage and is a crossroads of the Arctic – bringing together an amazing array of ecosystems and cultures. It is here that the true story of Arctic exploration rests. These communities have thrived through the deep understanding of the land and waters and you can experience first hand the bounties of this understanding. Local guides and Inuit will show you the magic of the land and will tell you the story of Arctic exploration passed from generation to generation. The spectacular story of the ill-fated Franklin expedition on the HMS Terror and Erebus in 1845 ends here, in Terror Bay where the wrecks were located and the gravesites still exist on Beechy Island.

Remote lodges provide you an opportunity to connect with the land in a way that will leave you awe-struck. These experiences offer authentic interaction with Inuit culture that is both natural and immersive.

Wildlife photography and hunting opportunities are plentiful in the region and the fish caught in the Kitikmeot are some of the best you will taste.

Home to thousands of caribou and polar bears, the Kivalliq Region is an experience that is second to none. Here you will find the great expanse of the Arctic tundra – rolling hills that stretch from horizon to horizon – this is also a home for some of Nunavut’s largest lakes and rivers, providing you with not only an amazing wildlife experience, but unparalleled paddling, hunting and fishing as well. Beluga by the thousands congregate close to the shores of the region, followed by powerful orca. A wildlife safari with an experienced operator will provide you with unparalleled wildlife viewing opportunities. You will be able to hike along the paths of the caribou, following their great migration and see the amazing range of wildlife these herds draw.

The  Kivalliq region will allow you to see this wonderful landscape through the eyes of Inuit. Hearing elders drum dance and sing ancient throat songs, you will feel the rhythm of the land and learn of the tales of survival and conquest.

 

Nunavut is a Territory diverse in both geography and culture. In a land as great as Nunavut, this diversity will give you a wide range of unforgettable experiences.

The Qikiqtaaluk region, towering mountains and fjords rise from the sea. Glaciers mark their slow advance across the tundra and icebergs flow across the crystal waters of Baffin Bay. The waters of this region are teeming with marine mammals. Inuit continue to thrive in this land. Their relationship of millennia with the environment for food, shelter, and clothing has led to an intimacy and knowledge of this land that is second to none. You can see this reflected in the unique art made in this region.
