Introducing Paulatuk
This small Inuvialuit community of 300 residents is on the Arctic coast near the mouth of the Hornaday River, about 400km east of Inuvik. The town’s name means ‘soot of coal’; one of the main attractions is the Smoking Hills, which contain smoldering sulfide-rich slate. For more information, contact the hamlet office (867-580-3531).
