Nunavut is the newest, largest and northernmost territory of Canada, comprising a major portion of Northern Canada and most of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. The province includes Ellesmere Island to the far north, as well as the eastern and southern portions of Victoria Island in the west, and all islands in Hudson, James and Ungava bays, and Akimiski Island far to the southeast of the rest of the territory.
Nunavut’s landscape is characterized by mostly treeless tundra, and some southerly areas of boreal forest. Nunavut experiences a polar climate in most regions, owing to its high latitude and low continental summertime influence. The paddling season is short!
Nunavut has three designated Canadian Heritage Rivers: the Coppermine River, the Kazan River, and the Thelon River.
