Canada’s Final Frontier
Home to vast expanses of untouched wilderness, Canada’s north is legendary among outdoor explorers for its beauty and magnitude. Pristine rivers run for thousands of kilometres through towering mountain ranges, deep canyons and barren tundra. Polar bears, muskoxen and caribou roam the land while falcons and eagles fly overhead. In the summer, the midnight sun means your adventures can carry you through the night, while the winter offers incredible views of the aurora borealis. With just a couple of major cities found in the region, this is truly a place where nature dominates, with a scattering of small Inuit communities providing the primary access to much of this wild land.
