Imagine a vast land of more than a million square miles, fully one-third of Canada, located at the top of the world--a land of bracing blue waters, clear air and warm, welcoming people. Welcome to one of the last great frontiers: Canada's Northwest Territories. Leave your cares at home. Here's a place where you really can get away from it all! And it's fairly easy to travel to the Northwest Territories, with convenient jet airline transportation from major cities. From May through July, this is the Land of the Midnight Sun. Twenty-four hours of daylight, in which to enjoy all that there is to see and do in the Arctic. Experience the wild rivers and the tundra where no trees grow, go fishing for giant trout, see great herds of caribou on their constant migration. Or spot muskoxen and polar bears in the wild. Where else but the NWT can you play golf at midnight in broad daylight on a course consisting entirely of sand, far above the tree line? The entire population of the Northwest Territories is only 64,000, or enough to easily fit into an average size baseball stadium. One third of the residents live in the capital city of Yellowknife, with the rest living in a few small villages. The Dene and the Inuits create exquisite artwork and crafts using ancient skills like stone carving, caribou tufting, and quill work. The Northwest Territories truly represent a land and culture worth exploring.
