Canada has 13 provinces and territories, including Nunavut, which is its most northern territory.  Inaugurated in 1999 and composed of the eastern portion of the Northwest Territories, Nunavut is home to the Inuit, one of the indigenous peoples of Arctic Canada (also called Eskimo in the United States) — its name in Inuktitut. “Place of fish,” Iqaluit, is the capital, largest, and only city of Nunavut, Canada’s northernmost territory. When Frobisher Bay was restored to its traditional Inuktitut name in 1987, it was known as Frobisher Bay, named after the large bay on which the city is located. Almost all of Nunavut consists of Arctic tundra. Nunavut’s vegetation has rare berries, lichens, Arctic Willows, mosses, hardy grasses, and small willow shrubs. There are approximately ten territorial parks and five national parks in Nunavut.  Baffin Island is a popular tourist destination for its breathtaking scenery, friendly Inuit population, and diverse activities. Visitors hardly intrude on the area, but it can hardly be said that they cause problems. In addition to having a coastline and a landscape that differ significantly, the island has one of the largest populations in the world.
