The Northern Territories make up over one third of Canada’s total land area, as they stretch far north into
the Arctic Region
The geographical features of the Northern Territories include rugged terrain, harsh climate, tundra, icy waters and subarctic forests.
The Northern Territories have a different relationship with Canada’s
federal government, that the provinces have.
In 1993, Nunavut was carved out of
the eastern portion of the
Northwest Territories,
making it the third Canadian territory.
Colorful bands of light that can be seen in the
skies far north are known as the aurora borealis, or more commonly known as the northern lights.
