The Northwest Passage

The actual route the boat will take is set out below. I have just looked at the weather in Resolute where we board the boat and the current temperature is 2 degrees centigrade and snowing. Good job we are not going in the winter. That said, the days are currently still very long as Resolute is so far north with sunrise at 3.23 and sunset at 23.20.

The area we will be visiting in now known as Nunavut.

Nunavut (in red)

Nunavut is the newest, largest and north-most territory of Canada although the population, of mostly Inuit, is estimated at less than 40,000. Nunavut was officially separated from the Northwest Territories on the 1 April, 1999 with the capital being Iqaluit (formerly known as Frobisher Bay).

Just checked in for our flights, British Airways to Toronto and Air Canada to Edmonton so not long to go now.

  1. The trip looks amazing and yes, winter travel would be problematic to say the least. Safe travels and we look forward to hearing of the “bucket filling” journey!! Keep warm.

  2. This is excellent Sue, interesting and a real education for me! Look forward to hearing more!
