Inuvik, meaning place of people, is known as the Land of the Midnight Sun and the gateway to the Beaufort-Delta. This small town is rich with northern art and culture and is a place to be visited. Located 2 degrees above the Arctic Circle, Inuvik has very unique and beautiful scenery. It is nestled between the treeless tundra and Northern boreal forest on the Mackenzie River and Delta. This delta is Canada's largest freshwater delta and is close to the Arctic Ocean. The area has very distinct flora and fauna which is perfect for hunting and fishing while its terrain is perfect for hiking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Inuvik is the largest town north of the Arctic Circle and is the government centre and transportation hub for the western Arctic.
Inuvik is located at the end of the Dempster Highway which links the Arctic to the southern communities and is the main headquarters for many oil and gas companies. Inuvik has a small town feel but still offers all the amenities from shops to restaurants and pubs. Once here, be sure to enjoy the magical Aurora Borealis or stop by the Igloo church to take some pictures of the amazing architecture or enjoy the Great Northern Arts Festival. There is plenty to do while visiting Inuvik; come see for yourself.
