Introducing Aulavik National Park

On the north end of Banks Island, this seldom-visited park (just five tourists came in 2007) covers 12, 275 sq km. It has the world’s largest concentration of musk ox as well as badlands, tundra and archaeological sites. The name means ‘place where people travel’ and that’s what you’ll have to do to get there. Contact Parks Canada (867-777-8800; 187 Mackenzie Rd; 8:30am-5pm Jun-Aug, call ahead at other times) in Inuvik for details on visiting.
