There are No Roads in Nunavut

This isn’t entirely true. There are roads within all communities, but there are no roads to connect the 25 communities with each other (except for a 32 km stretch between Arctic Bay and Nanisivik). Instead of hopping on a bus, locals have a different form of public transit: small planes.

The only other way to reach communities within Nunavut’s 2-million square kilometres is by boat. Some of those along the coast are included on small expedition cruise ship itineraries, like those run by Adventure Canada.
