GREAT SLAVE LAKE

62°09’N  111°52’W

The fabled East Arm is perhaps the most grandiose region of Great Slake Lake, and for good reason. It features clear waters, deep bays with tall, stark red cliffs, and world-class fishing. Whether you’re sinking your line into the seemingly bottomless depths offshore of Etthen Island or trolling behind your kayak, you’ll gather fish stories to last a lifetime. While lesser-known than its eastern brother, the North Arm boasts abundant islands, a stunning variety of birds, and tons of pike. Looking for Northern Lights that set the night sky on fire? Thanks to its ideal location under the Auroral oval, the shores of Great Slave Lake are home to the world’s best Aurora.

Western Arctic

69°51’N 126°56’W

The Arctic Circle is a line of lore and legend – and the Western Arctic is one of the few places in Canada where you can reach it by river. You can watch the sun spin itself dizzy in the sky, never falling below the horizon. You’ve now crossed into the true polar zone, a mythic region only a fraction of the travellers on Earth have ever entered.
