Ivvavik National Park, National park in Yukon, Canada
The remote wilderness of Ivvavik National Park spans 10,168 square kilometers of Arctic tundra, mountains, and the Firth River valley.
The establishment of Ivvavik National Park in 1984 marked the first Canadian national park created through an Indigenous land claim agreement.
The name Ivvavik derives from the Inuvialuktun language, reflecting the Indigenous peoples' connection to this vital caribou calving ground.
Access to the park requires advance arrangements through Parks Canada, with visitors typically arriving by chartered aircraft from Inuvik.
The Firth River cuts through limestone canyons, creating rapids and waterfalls as it flows north through the park to the Beaufort Sea.
