Stunning views, close-knit communities, an array of wildlife and a lot of snow.

July 9 marks Nunavut Day and this year is extra special as we celebrate its 20-year anniversary - though the reason the territory observes Nunavut Day on this day is actually older.

The Nunavut Land Claims Agreement Act went into effect on July 9, 1993 and its celebrated as a milestone of Nunavut becoming a territory, which didn't happen officially until April 1, 1999.

Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. (NTI) president Aluki Kotierk will be celebrating this year in Kugluktuk, Nunavut along with Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett.

Take a look through the photos and be amazed at what this untouched world has to offer.
