I believe Iqaluit Nunavut is the most expensive place to visit in Canada starting whith the plane ticket with First Air/CanadianNorth, food and lodging. I had the opportunity to live and work in the city for 6 long years. I made wonderful friends. In the summer time is an exotic place to visit. You can see the true beauty of the North. All the hills are full of purple flowers and blue berries. There are no darkness is daylight all day long for almost 4 months.The river Silvia Grinnell is beautiful you can spot a lot of arctic salmons a really big ones, there are willow Ptarmigan , the caribou return on their migration and some artic fox are visible as well , The ice in the Frobisher bay melt and the white beluga whale returns ,I had the wonderful opportunity to see the Narwal whale or unicorn whale . Thanks for sharing.
You had a great opportunity that not everyone has it in life. I'm gonna work hard until I live there, my soul and spirit tell me I should live there. I'm convinced I'll do it at some point of my life. Thank you so much for sharing your story. 🇨🇦 🍁
Iqaluit is a special place and I’m glad to say I’ve had the privilege of living there for about a year. It’s very remote, and very expensive and surviving the winter is no joke. But the Inuit culture is unique and the nature is unspoiled. For those few that can get a chance to travel up there and get passed the isolation it’s an experience you’ll treasure for a lifetime!
I have lived in Nunavut my whole life so some good places to visit are the snack (it’s a restaurant) for their poutine, the awg during the many hockey tournament during the year, and the astro theatre.
Watching this video was like going through a Time Machine. I lived there with my family for 9 years until I moved. It’s been 5 years since, and it’s great seeing it again. At 1:35 those big tanks were right beside the dump, where me and my siblings drove with my dad, where he would sing “To the Dump” every Saturday. Sadly, I didn’t see Joamie School, but that’s alright. Thank you for this video.
I just came back from Barrow Alaska for visit. Lots of similarities, they have a Chinese food, sushi bar, tacos restaurant and a coffee food truck, one Wells Fargo Bank, cemetery one post office and police station closed on weekend and airport close daily at 6pm. I was 450 miles north of Arctic Circle and pretty much like where you are standing
Chances are that I will probably never visit due to the costs and remoteness. However, I really do find such places incredibly fascinating, much more than Rome, New York, London and Paris. Thanks for posting.
@@mehchocolate1257generally government workers my parents met as social workers in the arctic provinces and my dad worked in Iqaluit for a while as it was being incorporated as an official territory.
There is something special in such places at the edge of the world. No rush, no smoke. You can watch the sun rolling around the horizon without setting down, drink coffee and feel yourself a small part of this misterious world. These icy deserts, lifeless at first look, they are full of life, just different... We are in Poland now came from Ukraine), waiting for my new docs - so i cannot travel at the moment, but this is definitely a place i'm going to visit with my wife when we'll be able to, rough estimate is summer 2026. Thanks for sharing this video! Very romantic place, with its own unique soul
@@AnywhereGoes Katowice (City of Kats! or Cats?). Nice place if you are living on the outskirts - forest natural reserve in 5 minute by bicycle, mountains in 1 hour car ride, rivers for rafting. We like it here
I have a goal of visiting all of Canada's provinces and territories. (I did the 50 states long ago.) Nunavut and the NWT are yet to go. I'm 85 though, and running out of time.
I piloted a twin otter into Frobisher Bay from the south shore of Hudson Strait3-4 times a week in the early 70’s. I went back for a visit in 1999. So fresh. I miss the north.
I lived in Iqaluit for a while, for about my whole life. Its safe but fires often happen, for example the North Mart caught on fire once. Though no major disasters happen, but blizzards often happen a lot. If you ever want to check out some boats that crashed, go to Apex beach. But just look out for polar bears. Even though i never seen one while i was there, its still something to be cautious about
Before Covid, I used to travel all over Nunavut every single month. Covid killed this job entirely and it doesn't look like it'll ever return. I miss it tremendously. Nothing else like it. You have to go to Pangnirtung and climb mount Duval. Just do it trust me.
Such a great video! It is my goal to visit all of Canada's Provinces/Territories and when I found out that there are no roads leading into Nunavut, I was kinda shocked. I have been to 7/13 Provinces/Territories in Canada but find Nunavut the most interesting due to its remoteness. Thank you for uploading a very quality video of a place I can dream to visit!
"when I found out that there are no roads leading into Nunavut, I was kinda shocked." It is kinda shocking at first, but Iqaluit is technically on a very large Arctic island - Baffin Island - so it's understandable why there would be no roads or rails going in or out.
@@Ithoughtthiswasamerica I could see someone be shocked at that, but why was the original comment about being shocked there's no roads going to an Arctic island
Lived there for over two years. Never paid full fare on the plane trips, friends and relatives at First Air gave me their ID90 reductions (and I'm thankful). When I lived there shipping and mail was subsidized and again, thank god. Used a two palette sea lift to full advantage each year to reduce dry goods costs. Traded with other Southerners and local Inuit for other food and groceries and fish and game. Ate lunch at the hospital, which was 10 bucks as opposed to 30-70+ dollars at a conventional restaurant. Bargain hunted and took advantage of every sale day at stores or restaurants. Vividly remember my brother walking out of the Northern store with two grocery bags and an 800 dollar charge. Think that's expensive? Head up island to Pond Inlet. Those prices will shock you. The entire produce section at the coop fit on a pool table sized table. The joke was when they were finished with the cabbage, nobody bought, they passed them off as brussel sprouts.
My 1 year old gets fussy sometimes before bed. When she does, i used to tell her, "None of that." It morphed into me saying, "Nunavut, Nunavut." To sooth her. Anyways, I looked up videos about Nunavut to put on for her, and she is out like a light. I love seeing remote and isolated settlements like this. I was surprised to see it's bigger than my town, but having a military connection does that. Having worked in small nontourist focused towns in the rockies, i can tell you after awhile, you stop using addresses, and start using, "That barn missing it's side door where the Smiths car broke down last summer" dirrections. They just work.
I have a client that trains firefighters for airplane fires and he was training people in a town like this for 2 years. He said they had to stay indoors for 3 days because a group of polar bears was roaming the town.
First off, great video bud. Love your energy, the facts that you gave, and just the whole flow of the video. As a Pakistani kid who immigrated in 2001 to Canada, and consider myself a Canadian(now living in Japan) I regret not travelling Canada more when I was living there. But oh well, now time to explore this country with my family. Fills me with pride to see through your video.
@@smidgenhea 100%. If you were not born in. Country you are not of the country. Takes 3 generations typically before people no longer care about county of origin. Look at the problems Canada has with Chinese nationals and India separatists
I live in the outback and my greatest trip was to NWT, Hay River in 1987. The Inuit had so much in common with us first people's from the desert. I'm mixed with French mother so Canada always had appeal. I started collecting postmarks from Nunavut, NWT, Yukon as things that were truly from that place with some of its spirit. My dream, Nunavut. Thx !
Wow! You could hardly have wandered further from home, eh? That's a really cool story - you went to the opposite end of the earth, in the opposite climate, and found familiarity
Oh, I thought it was Greenland at first. The same grey slushy streets that nobody seems to bother to plow as it snows so often... I wonder where you were headed if this is where they decided to make a stop-over.
Same Arctic region I guess. I don't blame them for not plowing much, although it did make walking more difficult. I was headed to Alert. There's a video for that too.
Thanks for your info packed vid. I live in South Western Ontario. Recently found out a friend of mine is moving to Pond Inlet😲😲. Someday, I'll visit. In sooooo curious of the way of life so far up North 🤔 Undoubtedly, a very different way of life, eh😁?. Oh!! A Timmies 😮😮❤❤🎉🎉. 👍👍
I've lived in Pond Inlet for 6 years! The people are very welcoming and friendly. Also yes its different living in Nunavut but in some way the same as any small town in the south. You adapt to differences and often come to prefer them over the the south. Such as a very short work commute and no traffic jams.
You can always tell a noob in the Arctic. Many of us lived and worked farther north year round. For myself it was Arctic Bay, for 2 1/2 years often flying patients to Iqaluit, as a medic. Either by jet or most hated, by twin otter.
Beautiful place. My favourite thing In the world is visiting small historical towns. I'd love to be able to visit every province and territory in Canada...being a canuck myself...I feel I should! Anyways wonderful video lad! Cheers.
This is a nice little video. You deserved more time to make a more thorough tour, and to talk to local folk. A balanced video showing the good and bad.
Great video, and maybe the most 🇨🇦 thing I’ve done all day!! That you made it through the whole video without saying “eh” once was notable, but I found myself finishing your sentences myself with “eh”, eh! Would love to visit one day as things 8n the north will undoubtedly change with the Northwest Psssage being opened up to more shipping as the ice melts. Be great to see it before that has too much of an effect.
I remember going up there in the early 2000s. Use to buy arctic char from the locals for $5-$10 per fish! We use to fly the beer in every spring. Can of beer was $9 back then.
Back in the 1990s before the US Federal Government destroyed C band Satellite TV, we could get Inuit TV and News programming from Iqaluit and Inuvik. As a Choctaw (Native American) I loved it!
I did too. I watched NTV all the time which at that time was in the clear, but my dish had to be pointed almost on the horizon to get Anik the satellite that carried a lot of CBC North.. I always liked the music on OZFM too. Yes, on my BIG dish I got a lot or European television and the real BBC as well as TV from Ireland. It was a wide open field of tv! I almost forgot, BCTV out of British Columbia.
I only set foot in the airport twice (4), first time was to go to Qikitarjuaq and the second time was to go to Clyde River, both time during winter for work.
Been there twice, on the way the Alert with the military. The food is great, very expensive, but great anyways, and I understand it's because of the logistics. Also, I've never seen so many bicycles left in the creek that runs through town lol.
@@AnywhereGoes I was there during August both times, not much snow, if any. There had to have been 30 small bicycles every fifty feet down in the creek, It was hilarious lol.
Its really interesting I will probably never go there in my life since I can’t afford it but its interesting to see the place in acway you make us travel with your video Thanks for sharing
I'm always intrigued by such places, but I always am scouring to find whatever vegetation I can see in the video. I will go on google earth and use street view in remote regions (when available) looking at the landscape. Haha so fair to say I may not visit. I love trees. ❤ great video.
there are different games in Iqaluit there are throat singing and 2 foot high kick and There is natural resources and languages and they have a a a short city.
I was there for the celebration in 1999 as military personnel. What a great place. Great people. Got to meet Polar Boy and got a taxi ride from the Legion to the Q. And to my surprise a Jamaican gave me that ride. Lol
I have been there twice. My son and wife were there for five years. They wanted me to move happy I didn't they moved back to Ottawa. But must say it's lovely to see.
It's strange how diverse canada, and even countries in general, is, like you have major cities like Toronto and Vancouver, and then you have tiny remote places like Iqaluit
Thanks for the video. I have a dream of visiting all the provinces and territories of Canada. I am sure its beautiful for photography in summer (and winter).
I’m hoping I can visit all 3 territories soon too. Honestly Iqaluit is definitely unique since I noticed it doesn’t really have buildings like Yellowknife and Whitehorse.
Thanks for the video! Any suggestions which month of a year is the best to visit so it's not that cold but still get you experience you want? And how many days did you spend there? Thanks!
They definitely have restaurants and even a brewery! However because it's so remote it's incredibly expensive and was out of my price range. I ended up picking up a small pizza for $30 and eating it my room... Alone... Didn't think you all would want to see that. Lol
I wish there had been a few more shots of the area, maybe a few questions/answers with locals, and maybe a bit about that language listed at the bottom of the signs.

if one has lived in northern ontario, its globally in the middle of no where. so you can experience isolation outside nunavut.

What are you eating there guys? Is there really lots of fish? Do you have beets and carrots? Are vegetables expensive? Thank you!

I was there for the celebration in 1999 as military personnel. What a great place. Great people. Got to meet Polar Boy and got a taxi ride from the Legion to the Q. And to my surprise a Jamaican gave me that ride. Lol
That must've been so cool!
As a nova scotian I just can't fathom the mind of someone who lives in nunavut and thinks "yup. this is where I want to live my entire life"
I mean, we all gotta live somewhere, but I know what you mean.
This was such a pleasant and immersive video ❤
Very good video, Antonio!
Great video, thanks for sharing! I'm curious what your final destination was, because not many flights have a stopover in Iqaluit
I was headed to Alert
Great video 👍
It looks so cozy there not gonna lie
Cozy but cold!
This video is so wholesome 😂❤I love it
Haha thanks
This is amazing stuff, keep up the good work.
Thanks a lot!
6:16 of Nunuavut is about enough for me, thanks for the tour of a place I never want to visit, lol.
Haha and now you never have to
Very cool travel vlog! I have been to Iqaluit multiple times and have good friends living there !
Cool! Thanks for watching
I have been there twice. My son and wife were there for five years. They wanted me to move happy I didn't they moved back to Ottawa. But must say it's lovely to see.
Very different from Ottawa for sure.
It's strange how diverse canada, and even countries in general, is, like you have major cities like Toronto and Vancouver, and then you have tiny remote places like Iqaluit
Fascinating!
Did i see a side by side ? Wow its super cold. Its beautiful
Great video - thanks for this.
A very nice look..thank you
Thank you too!
Where was this plane going if it had a stopover there?
I was on my way back from Alert
I find it more of a very big town, as it's missing highrises, subways & freeways.
You raise valid points
Thanks for the video. I have a dream of visiting all the provinces and territories of Canada. I am sure its beautiful for photography in summer (and winter).
You should!
Thanks for the video. I saw that town on the globe and wanted to see that it was like
I’m hoping I can visit all 3 territories soon too. Honestly Iqaluit is definitely unique since I noticed it doesn’t really have buildings like Yellowknife and Whitehorse.
Very unique for sure!
this place is awesome, want to visit so bad. resolute too
Thank you for the adventure!
With the way the climate is going, this could be the capital of the world in a few decades
Let's hope it doesn't get that bad.
Thanks for the video! Any suggestions which month of a year is the best to visit so it's not that cold but still get you experience you want? And how many days did you spend there? Thanks!
I was there for a day in April and it was reasonable. If you go in the summer you get to see the grasses and flowers
@@AnywhereGoes Thanks for sharing it!!! That sounds like a great time to go!
As I hve been to Narvik Municipality in Norway and Rovaniemi
City in Finland I was curious so Your video was suitable. Thanks.
We would love to visit Norway and Finland! Where are you from friend?
I saw the White Stripes play in the Iqaluit hockey rink.
No way! I'm genuinely jealous! I never even got to see them. That must've been so cool!
First things first (COFFEE) You're a good man I can tell already
I appreciate that
At my work we get Kalawit brand shoes. now i have to find out if they're from this city!
Very cool video. Nicely done. Andy 🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed it
Cool video
Thanks
2 days there in June, cold and daylight at 2:00 am, never again.
The 24 hour day/night is so wild
Would've liked to seen you visit some restaurants and a bar for a beer! I hear they have both! Cheers
They definitely have restaurants and even a brewery! However because it's so remote it's incredibly expensive and was out of my price range. I ended up picking up a small pizza for $30 and eating it my room... Alone... Didn't think you all would want to see that. Lol
Come on bro. I would like to
@@AnywhereGoes$30?
Indeed!
I wish there had been a few more shots of the area, maybe a few questions/answers with locals, and maybe a bit about that language listed at the bottom of the signs.
I feel you! I wish I had more time.
Great episode. Thank you.
Thank you too!
