@@Walkerxy Yes, of course. These wonderful places are all really hard to get to. What I regret is not that they aren't much visited ---- that's probably for the best ---- but that they aren't being shown to us in media. Every Canadian should at least be able to see good pictures and films about them. We should at least know about them. Ask any person in almost any country with mountains what their highest mountain is. They will almost certainly know. There's not a single person in France above the age of ten who isn't aware of Mont Blanc, and seen a thousand pictures of it. But how many Canadians know what the highest mountain in Canada is? Mount Logan is a spectacular giant of fantastic beauty. How many Canadians have even heard about the awesome majesty of Mt. Thor and Mt. Asgard in Nunavut? It should be stuff everyone is shown in school.
Geothermal would be amazing from that gold mine in Yellowknife. The fact that it is right in town is so perfect. That would be a lot of energy that doesn't have to be brought in from far away places
I've known about the Smoking Hills almost all my (long) life. I've always wondered why they were so unknown, with no articles, documentaries or pictures easy to find. Nice to see you giving their due. Canada's Arctic is just filled with fantastic natural wonders that would be famous if any significant number of people got to see them. Some of Canada's National Parks in the far north can actually get zero visitors in a year. But when I think about it, I give thanks for Canada's vast emptiness. None of these natural wonders are overrun by mobs of bored and/or drunk tourists.
Fun fact: Nunavut is 2 million square km (750,000 square miles) but doesn't have a single road in or out of it. There are roads WITHIN Nunavut. But just local roads. Mostly impermanant roads made into the ice during the winter. Or little dirt roads where possible. Permafrost makes it almost impossible to build permanent roads.
In Nunavut there aren't many ice roads. It's mostly gravel roads in town and leading out a few kms generally. It is possible to build roads on permafrost (there are even many paved roads and highways on it), but of course it is often unstable and requires a lot of ongoing maintenance.
@@ChrisOlsen-n5tdon't need trails for dogsled or snowmobile as it is open tundra, sea ice, and frozen lakes/rivers for over half the year and covered with snow for much of that.

Nahanni has to be one of Canada’s most underrated wild gems. I explore it on Google Earth more than I care to admit 😅
Me too bro 🥲🥲🥲
I cycle between googlearthing Nahanni, Kluane, Auyuittuq, and Ellesmere Island
Same, I think the issue is the expense to get there and the fact for it to be worth while you’d want at minimum multiple weeks there.
@@CRGuitarr that one other National park over Nahanni is even better, you have street view on it and it's definitely my favorite

My thoughts exactly, it may be a blessing in disguise that many of rugged and pristine parks are so remote. It just means they stay unspoiled!
Great video love these locations

Yes this is true, I actually made a video on this topic as well!
are there any trails leading in/out? Like for ATV or Dogsleds?

Hello from the Yukon

Thanks! Noted for future videos!
Gotta agree 👍
@@Urban_Atlas thank you! Your content is awesome but the swoosh is a bit jarring lol. I look forward to more great content so cheers mate!
Have you heard of the island on a lake on an island on a lake on an island in Nunavut?
I have, it may or may not show up in a later video 😉
Are you describing a series of island and water donuts?
@@Walkerxy "Recursive Island" - right here: 69.79294138106223, -108.24149120224517 - but I don't think Google Maps can show the detail.

I love that all of the places where in the Northwest Territories, I want to move there in a few years but normally you almost hear nothing about it
Extremely underrated!
T'so
Baffin Island has some incredible BASE jumping and climbing videos on UA-cam
Gotta check those out!
