Nunavut, Territory in northern Canada
Nunavut extends across the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and includes numerous islands, covering over 2 million square kilometers of tundra, mountains, and frozen waters.
The Northwest Territories divided into two regions on April 1, 1999, establishing Nunavut as a separate territory to grant self-governance to Inuit populations.
The Inuit language Inuktitut maintains official status alongside English and French, reflecting the preservation of indigenous traditions throughout the territory.
The territory experiences temperatures reaching minus 35 degrees Celsius during winter months, requiring specialized cold-weather equipment and careful travel planning.
With a population density of 0.02 people per square kilometer across its vast expanse, Nunavut stands as the least populated major administrative region worldwide.
