VIEW NUNAVUT CAMERAS →Nunavut Transportation Reality
Nunavut represents one of the most unique transportation landscapes in the world. In 2024, the territory recorded three traffic-related fatalities, reflecting the localized nature of vehicle use in the North. As Canada's largest and newest territory, its vast geography is nearly twice the size of Ontario but is home to only 40,000 people.
No Public Inter-Community Highways
- Zero Connecting Roads: Nunavut has NO public highway system connecting its 25 communities to each other or to the rest of Canada.
- Air Travel Dependency: All communities are "fly-in only" year-round. Air travel is the only reliable link for passengers and perishable goods.
- Seasonal Sea Lift: Heavy equipment, fuel, and dry goods are delivered via annual sealift during the brief ice-free summer months.
- Ice Roads: During peak winter, seasonal ice roads are constructed over the frozen ocean or tundra to connect some communities and mine sites.
Iqaluit: The Arctic Hub
Iqaluit, the territorial capital, is home to nearly 8,000 people. While the city has a local network of paved and gravel streets, it remains isolated from the North American road grid. The Iqaluit Airport serves as the primary gateway for the territory.
