List of cities for the province Nunavut in Canada

Nunavut is the largest of the three territories. It is also the newest, as it was only officially declared as its own territory in 1999. Its separation from Northwest Territories allowed for its Inuit population to govern themselves independently. Although it is the largest region of the entire country, Nunavut is the least populous province or territory. With a population of around 35,000 and a territory almost as large as Mexico, it serves as one of the country's most remote locations. Due to the harsh weather conditions, it is difficult to settle in most regions within Nunavut. Still, this attracts nature junkies in search of intense hikes and mountain climbs. Further, Nunavut's capital and largest city Iqaluit serves as the territory's cultural centre. Iqaluit is a unique city due to its polar climate. As a small town in cold weather, Iqaluit residents are tightly-knit and always prepared. Fortunately, the aurora borealis can be consistently seen in Iqaluit and the rest of the territory. If you don't mind the cold and want to explore the country's largest region full of nature, consider a visit to Nunavut.
