Sable Island has been a National Park since 2011. I was fortunate enough to visit Sable Island twice while working offshore in the 1980's. We stopped over for a few hours both times to drop off equipment and supplies to the personnel on the island. To see the island was truly a thrill, and while flying off the island I could make out shipwrecks off its south coast. The horses and the number of seals were certainly nice to see. A true gem !.
I met a guy a few years ago who was on the Torngat management committee. They had one meeting every year in the park just to remind everyone what they were in charge of. Very good idea, a really great trip.
I’m a Canadian who has visited quite a few national parks but not any of these remote and beautiful places. Maybe some day. Thank you and would love to see more about remote national or even provincial, parks.
Yes please for the part two, I’ve always been fascinated with the arctic and have looked at these parks on google maps so many times and dreamed of all the incredible adventures possible there.
I enjoy learning about our national parks and other places in Canada’s Arctic. Always been on my bucket list. I have made it Yellowknife, lived on Dawson City, and plan a road trip on the Dempster Highway. However, I think the high Arctic is out of my reach. Thanks for the journeys.
The high Arctic is an expensive place to visit, especially the Arctic national Parks, but someone who has made it up to Yellowknife and Dawson City you have made it further than most Canadians, I hope you get a chance to explore more 🫡🙏. Thank you for the comment, appreciate you.
I've been to Nahanni and plan one day to get to Quttinirpaaq. I've been to several arctic islands including Banks and Baffin Islands among others. It is spectacular up there! I've been to about a dozen NPs in Canada - almost all of them are spectacular in some way.
Wow man that’s amazing 🤩. It’s my dream to visit Nahanni, Ayyutiq and Quttiniripaaq. How was your experience with Nahanni, would love to hear about it.
@@Urban_Atlas Nahanni was 15 years ago and so specifics are starting to fade. But without doubt it was amazing to canoe and hike for a week. My trip included the falls and the Cirque of the Unpenetrables...
That's amazing, I had no idea of these parks. I know about the Acasta Gneiss formation; it's the oldest set of rocks in the world. Cool to see a piece on that. How about the failed rift system in the North? or find the headwaters of the Mackenzie all the way to the Arctic sea? I see you have over 91k views; keep making these videos they're a way of sharing Canadian landscapes.
It's on my bucket list to travel to Quttinirpaaq National Park to photograph and hike the terrain. But as a single, not rich traveler, not sure if I ever could get there.
Just the video I was looking for. I've been looking about Nahanni National Park for many days and I couldn't come up with the name nor location. Please, do a part 2!
6:18 you're talking about the far arctic and using stock footage of the west coast, how much of what we see in this video is actually the locations described???
Most of it is, regrettably I would like to have access to my own footage of the high Arctic, but I currently don’t have the resources to visit quttiniripaaq national park. My long term Goal is to visit and create content of the high Arctic using my own footage!
@@Urban_Atlasno, the commentator is critisizing your erroneous use of west coast footage pretending to be arctic footage... it’s all stock footage & not your own, we understand - that’s not the issue *use the correct stock footage related to the locations in the video being discussed
I'm not sure if a lot of people, even in my home province of Quebec and in Newfoundland, know that Mount Caubvick (known in Quebec as Mont d'Iberville) is the highest point in both Quebec and Newfoundland & Labrador. At 1,652 m (5,420 ft), it's the highest point in mainland Canada, though not quite as high as either Mount Washington (the highest point in the US Northeast) or Mount Mitchell (the highest point in the US Southeast) due south[west], or - for that matter - the highest points in nearby Nunavut (on Baffin and Ellesmere Islands).
Very cool! I personally know a handful of people who have been to Ellesmere Island, my dad included when he worked with the Inuit, but also many of my lab mates from the Geography department at UOttawa which is well known for it's Arctic studies programs!
i have been to Resolute bay, what a great experience, i slept one night out doors ( in a old frozen igloo ) while on duty during the start of there 24hour daylight cycle, i would wake up at 2 am thinking it was 2 pm.
@@Urban_Atlas i discovery your channel this morning ( i m french and i live in france) and she is so cool really beautiful channel and videos all my respect for your job
It only seems big if you look at it on a typical mercator projection map - Where the closer the land mass is towards the poles the larger it seems than it really is, e.g. Greenland Land mass size, Canada is not much bigger than the US - 3.855 million square miles vs. 3.796 square miles.
The picture you used for Goose Bay, well the Airbase (CFB Goose Bay) is an older one lol I can still see my old school, St. Michael's and Goose High School was right next to it. Can see a bit of the town, the uptown portion where I grew up but Happy Valley is missing from the pic. the town is pretty spread out though. Also, it's in Labrador, not Newfoundland, which is the island portion of the province.
I have always been Intrigued and fascinated by Kouchibouguac. Tbh honest, I haven’t gotten around to research Kouchibouguac and its accessibility. Thank you for bring it up. Maybe in a part 2 or 3.
There are polar bears up there, but also brown bears and black bears, coyotes and wolves. Oh, and you can't bring a rifle in there, good luck with that.
I'd be down for some of these trips however anytime medical access to days away? I'll pass... That's too remote even for an introvert like me... I worked up in Fort Simpson back in the 2010's briefly... A very spectacular place to visit especially if you go North or West from there... Or even SW into the Fort Liard area... Plus it has all the small town things you need like KFC, Pizza Hut and even Timmy's I believe via the Northern Store...
Yea definitely, medical access would be days away, it’s a risk you would have to take if you want to take on the adventure that awaits you if you plan on visiting these parks. I would love to visit Fort Simpson, it’s a dream of mine to one day visit Nahanni
What about Wapusk? It's a rather new park, less than 30 years old, but has the advantage of being prime polar bear habitat. And it's pretty remote as well, there are no roads to take you there, you must fly or take a rail journey from Thompson, MB (or from Winnipeg, if you choose not to drive to Thompson). It's on my list of must-visit destinations in this massive country, for sure.
Yep! WaPusk is another one of those fairly remote parks and also one of bucket list destinations in Canada, I’m thinking I might talk about it in a part 2 or 3. There so so many amazing parks in Canada
Most of Canada is either inaccessible or just countless miles of road in the wilderness. Not a very traveler friendly country unless you crave adventure.
That ungulate at 4:16 was a fallow deer and not a caribou. Fallow deer are not native to North America… much of the stock footage in this video is misleading.
i would consider haida gwaii an inaccesible "park" it takes two days to get there from any major city, its like a jurrassic rainforest island the size of pei and nobody even knows it exists because of how hard it is to get to
National Parks don't protect lans, there is heavy resource extraction in them although small portions are for camping. Algonquin Park for example has 70% of the park used for logging and mining. Mostly they were created to kick Indigenous people off lands.
My last year working at Quttinirpaaq, Parks Canada subsidized the flight from Resolute and it cost $7000/person. Now a 2 week hike cost $29,000. I guess I won't go back to visit.
What do you mean "so much"? I live here, not even 0.001% of the forest was burned. Did you know some trees here have pinecones that need fire to spread their seeds? Forest fires are part of the natural cycle and dumb humans have the hubris to think we can control it.
I just got back from northern Labrador. Canada is not so much a country as it is a federation built on a frontier. These hard to reach areas are important because of their remoteness, and the people who live in these remote areas need Ottawa a lot less than Ottawa relies on them
National Parks don't require a guide. Anybody who says you do is full of it. We have the right to free travel in Canada. Unless it's private property, it's accessible by anybody.

I came here just to say how nobody cares of this area. Canada is one landscape with different mountain height... 🤣
