• Simply unique. In Inuktitut, the language of the Inuit, Nunavut means "our land." It's a name that reflects the simple purity of this spectacular Arctic wilderness, while quietly beckoning visitors to explore and discover its many unique wonders.   Captivating, ancient and diverse, Nunavut's vast arctic tundra is home to an extraordinary people and variety of wildlife. The Inuit have a connection to the land and its rich history is woven into a culture steeped in tradition and folklore. Nunavut is a world where the darkness of winter is tempered only by silver threads of moonlight and the vibrant glow of the Northern Lights. Polar bears roam the ice floes stalking prey, and muskoxen thunder across the tundra, whales play and narwhals joust in ice-blue waters and Atlantic walruses can be seen basking on the rocky Arctic shoreline.
