Located in the northernmost portion of Canada, Nunavut is the largest but least populous territory in the country. Iqaluit, the territory’s capital, often serves as the jump-off or ending point of tourist activities in Nunavut. Many of the activities and attractions in the area are based on the culture of the Inuit. You can also experience outdoor activities such as skiing, snowmobiling, and dogsledding during winter. During summer, fishing, kayaking, boating, and diving await you here. Be sure to pay a visit to Nunatta Sunakkutaangit Museum where you can find Inuit artifacts, tools, and clothing. Want to try your hand at fishing? Stay close to popular angling spots by booking one of the top fishing lodges in Nunavut, Canada.
