Canada's northernmost territory, Nunavut (which means "our land" in the Inuit language), is incredibly beautiful and endlessly vast. With an area of 2 million square kilometers, it stretches from the Hudson Bay to the North Pole and from Ellesmere Island off the northern coast of Greenland to the Amundsen Gulf. The majority of the land is untouched wilderness. Permafrost prevails for most of the year, and the Arctic islands are surrounded by pack ice.
