Safe Travel
Welcome to Nunavut Parks! Our parks will offer you spectacular scenery, unique wildlife, and opportunities to experience Inuit culture and learn about northern places few people go. But, there are a host of associated dangers with travel in this northern wilderness. The remoteness of the area, and limited rescue capabilities increase the risk of the challenging natural hazards. All visitors must be prepared to deal with extreme and rapidly changing weather, unpredictable river crossings, high winds, and wildlife - including polar bears - that you may not be familiar with.
Remember, you must be self-reliant and responsible for your own safety!
