IQALUIT, NUNAVUT: VACATION PACKAGES & TRAVEL PLANNING

Canadian Vacation packages for Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada

Pronounced "ee-ka-loo-eet", Iqaluit is the capital and only city of Nunavut. Local sights include the igloo-shaped St. Jude's Cathedral, decorated with crafts produced by members of the congregation and the Government of Nunavut building, housing the Legislative Assembly and a display of northern art. Nearby Sylvia Grinnell Territorial Park is located about one kilometre (a 30 minute walk) from Iqaluit. The picturesque scenery is accented by Sylvia Grinnell River, separating the park in two as it meanders through the tundra. The river is a great spot to catch an arctic char and the falls make for a beautiful spot to picnic. Visit Qaummaarviit Historic Park, an island in Frobisher Bay rich in archaeological history just 12 kilometres west of Iqaluit. Thule culture occupied this area over 1000 years ago. You can follow a signed interpretive trail to see the relics of winter sod houses, summer tent rings, kayak stands, meat caches and much more. Access to the park is through local outfitters by boat, snowmobile or dog team, depending on the season.
