The Nunavut Territory covers one-fifth of Canada, stretching from Ellesmere Island off Greenland's north coast to a border that runs north from the Saskatchewan/Manitoba border and then angles west to the arctic coast near Amundsen Gulf. The mainland portion of the territory is an untouched wilderness, where the stark northern tundra changes into cliffs and plateaux along the Northwest Passage. To the north and east, the Arctic Islands are surrounded by pack ice for most of the year and the region extends to the glaciers, jagged mountains and fjords of the eastern shores of Baffin and Ellesmere Islands.

Although Canada is officially bilingual (English and French), Inuktitut is an official language in Nunavut. English is commonly spoken throughout.
