@ National Flag of Canada
"Do they still use dog sleighs in Nunavut, Splash?" queried Mor'du.
"Our tour guide was telling us earlier that the ancient Inuit sled dog breeds are alive and well. These dogs are perfectly adapted to the arctic climate, and love to run. But when distances are a bit too far for dogs, Nunavummiut hop on their snowmobiles to make tracks," replied Splash.
National Flag of Canada
The National Flag of Canada, or Maple Leaf Flag, is a horizontally symmetric flag that is identical no matter which direction the flag is blowing. The eleven-point red maple leaf in the center was chosen after testing as it was the design that was the least blurry in high winds tests. The maple leaf has been used as an emblem of Canada since the 18th century.

@ Yukon Ice
"What's the coldest it's ever been here, Mor'du?" asked Alvin, shivering.
"Apparently it reached minus 63°C in the Yukon in 1947!" responded Mor'du.
"Goodness!" said Alvin. "I'm glad I packed an extra jumper!"
Yukon Ice
Residents of the Yukon Territories and other arctic areas are well familiar with the dangers of ice and take great care in crossing any frozen waterways. Fast-moving rivers freeze and melt at different rates and are even more unpredictable than lakes and ponds. It is possible in sub-zero weather to have slush and only partially frozen sections so the ice can be quite deceptive and unsafe to cross.

@ Barren-Ground Caribou, Yukon Territories
"Hey, Melancholy Mae, guess where we'll be going to in the Yukon? Dawson City in the Klondike region—it's the scene of the infamous gold rush in 1896! There's now a music hall and things ... oh, and you can go to Bonanza Creek and pan for your own real gold at Free Claim #6!"
"Can't wait!" said Mor'du happily. "Perhaps we'll go home as millionaires!"

Barren-Ground Caribou, Yukon Territories
Barren-Ground Caribou can be found in the Yukon in the massive Porcupine Herd (169,000) or the smaller Forty Mile Herd (51,000). The open tundra and sparse trees allow the herds to see predators from a great distance. Large herds will move together between calving grounds and summer feeding, to wintering grounds to the south. Cows will keep antlers until they calve in June allowing pregnant females to claim and defend the best feeding areas in late winter when they need high-quality food.

"Ah-ha, I know this!" exclaimed Winnie The Pooh. "It used to be Frobisher Bay from its location but regained its traditional Inuktitut name of Iqaluit when the territory was created. That means “place of fish”, you know."

Yukon Mountain Goat
The Yukon mountain goat is the rarest large mammal in the Yukon with an estimate of only 1500 animals. Males and females are very similar in appearance. Their favored habitat is steep rocky cliffs which they use to protect themselves from predators.

"The purple saxifrage, Saxifraga oppositifolia," replied Mor'du. "It grows well in cliff edges and rocks, and flowers in the spring snow."

Yukon Bannock

"It certainly is! It's a shame we're only here for a few days," replied Mor'du. "We'd probably need months to explore it properly!"
Canadian Pika, Yukon Territories
The pika is a small mammal the size of a guinea pig and is in the same family as rabbits and hares. It has no external tail and is found throughout British Columbia, Alberta, Yukon Territories, and Alaska.

"Just how big is it?" queried Wily.
"Well, it’s said to be about the same size as Belgium," replied Mor'du. "It’s also the deepest lake in North America, at a depth of 614 metres. That's over 2000 feet!"
Bear Café, Northwest Territories
This is a popular little café of the arctic north and it is a favorite for bears as they dine on fresh fish, the facility's specialty. The views are incredible but seating is limited and bears are served first so reservations are advised.

@ Yellowknife at Night
" 'The Yukon is a perfect destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Rivers run for miles, the hiking trails are endless and there are more things to do in the snow than take pictures of the northern lights!' " read out Reynard from her tour brochure.
"It says we can go cycling, boating, canoeing and kayaking, skiing, rafting, snow-shoeing, horseback riding, golfing, dog-sledding, hiking, mountain biking and RVing!" Mor'du paused, puzzled. "What's RVing, Reynard?"
"I think it means travelling in a posh campervan, Mor'du!"

Yellowknife at Night
A scene perfect for a Christmas card is just an everyday snapshot of winter in the Northwest Territories. Temperatures are very cold with the average January reaching -26 C (-15 F). It has the honor of being named the coldest city with the longest snow cover season in Canada. Yellowknife is the capital city (actually the only city) in the Northwest Territories.

@ Aurora Borealis, Yellowknife, NWT
"The parliament is different in Nunavut," remarked Mor'du, reading from his travel guide. "Unlike most regions in Canada, Nunavut operates by consensus-based governance. All Members of the Legislative Assembly run as independents, and they sit in a circle to make governance decisions."
"Sounds good, Mor'du!" responded Olive.
Aurora Borealis, Yellowknife, NWT
Because of Yellowknife's location near the Arctic Circle, stable weather conditions, and the long hours of darkness throughout the arctic winter, the aurora borealis, or northern lights, are visible nearly every evening, provided there are no clouds in the sky. The ice roads of the Northwest Territories are a great place to view the aurora.

@ Least Chipmunk, Northwest Territories
"What's Nunavut's territorial bird, Mor'du?" asked Flutter.
"Oh, we passed some this morning," replied Mor'du. "It's the rock ptarmigan. Our guide told us it has different camouflage depending on the season. It’s nearly all-white in the snowy winter and mottled brown in the summer. They've got feathery feet to protect them from the severe cold."
"It says here as well it nests as far north as there is land in the world," announced Flutter.
Least Chipmunk, Northwest Territories
It might be called the Least Chipmunk but it doesn't make this rodent insignificant in any way. It is small in size but its spunky antics and near frenzied pace of constant foraging can be a delight to watch.

Canadian Tundra
Tundra, which comes from a Sami word meaning “barren land,” refers to a treeless arctic region characterised by permafrost.

Stellar's Jay
Steller's jay (Cyanocitta stelleri) is a bird native to western North America, closely related to the blue jay found in the rest of the continent, but with a black head and upper body. It is also known as the long-crested jay, mountain jay and pine jay. It is the only crested jay west of the Rocky Mountains. It is also sometimes colloquially called a "blue jay" in the Pacific Northwest, but is distinct from the blue jay (C. cristata) of eastern North America. The species inhabits pine-oak and coniferous forests.
