Iqaluit, the capital city of the territory of Nunavut, is situated on Frobisher Bay on Baffin Island and serves as the primary gateway to the Canadian Arctic. The city is a vibrant hub of Inuit culture, where traditional practices coexist with modern northern life. Visitors can explore the Nunatta Sunakkutaangit Museum to see incredible Inuit art and artifacts or visit the unique St. Jude's Anglican Cathedral, which is shaped like an igloo. The surrounding tundra landscape offers a raw and beautiful environment for outdoor exploration, including hiking in Sylvia Grinnell Territorial Park or venturing out onto the sea ice. Iqaluit is a place of dramatic seasonal changes, from the 24-hour daylight of the summer to the dark, starry winters illuminated by the aurora borealis. Its remote location and deep connection to the land and Indigenous heritage offer a travel experience unlike any other in North America, highlighting the resilience of the North.
