About Iqaluit
Iqaluit is the capital city of Nunavut, Canada's northernmost and newest territory. With a population of approximately 8,000 people, it is the largest community in Nunavut and serves as a hub for transportation, commerce, and culture in the region.
Despite its remote location, Iqaluit is a vibrant and dynamic city with a strong sense of community. Its residents, known as Iqalummiut, come from a variety of cultural backgrounds, including Inuit, Métis, and non-Indigenous Canadians. The city's diverse population is reflected in its many festivals, events, and cultural activities, which celebrate the rich history and traditions of the region.
One of the most striking features of Iqaluit is its stunning natural setting. The city is located on the southern tip of Baffin Island, in the midst of the Arctic wilderness. The landscape is dominated by rocky hills, expansive tundra, and the icy waters of Frobisher Bay. Despite the harsh climate, the area is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including caribou, muskoxen, Arctic foxes, and numerous bird species.
