The territory of Nunavut encompass a fifth of Canada's landmass. As big as it is, a road trip might not be the best way to explore the area, since roads are scarce (32 km in the whole territory), and traffic lights are nonexistent. The best way to go around is by snowmobile or dog sled. This territory is the best place in the world if you want to see narwhals (75% of the population is found here) or polar bears (the largest land carnivore on Earth). Beer lovers would want to worth the trip to Nunavut to visit NuBrew in Iqaluit, the northernmost microbrewery in the world. For now, the trip to this territory can take place through these twelve books.
