Inuvik, NWT

Downtown Inuvik, NWT. It was somewhat surprising, after crossing vast and untouched terrain, to end in what looked like just a slightly weather-worn version of a relatively modern town. Inuvik is the center for much of the exploration of Canada's northwest, and the retail center for the very scattered populations across the area. See map.
