    The vast Canadian Arctic territories cover an area as large as India, but with a human population of 100,000. The regions of Yukon, North West Territories and Nunavut contain some of the most unspoilt wilderness of the Arctic, and the fabled North West Passage, now becoming more accessible with rising sea temperatures. Arctic Canada includes the massive islands Baffin, Ellesmere and Victoria, which support healthy populations of musk oxen, Arctic wolves and snowy owls, and a small indigenous population of Inuit people. Belugas and narwhal may be seen offshore, and polar bears follow the pack ice even as far south as Churchill in winter.
