    Ivvavik National Park

    High mountains, broad river valleys, endless tundra, and the Arctic seacoast come together within Ivvavik National Park (est 1984, 9750 km2) to create a wilderness paradise. Located about 800 km northwest of Whitehorse, YT, or 200 km west of Inuvik, NWT, it is just about as far away as you can get from anywhere. Access is usually by charter aircraft from Inuvik. Initially known as Northern Yukon National Park, it was given an Inuvialuit name in 1992. Ivvavik means "place of giving birth and raising young" in reference to the Porcupine Caribou herd that has its calving grounds along the Beaufort Sea coast. It is Canada's first park established through a native land claim settlement. Due to its isolation, it is one of the least visited national parks in Canada.
