Formerly known as Holman, this Inuvialuit
community wraps around the head of an
Arctic inlet on the west coast of Victoria
Island, the ninth largest on Earth. It was
founded as a Roman Catholic mission in the
1930s and is now famous for two things:
The world’s northernmost golf course
(each summer it hosts the Billy Joss Open
Tournament), and exquisite Inuit prints.

Population: 325
Near the western mouth of the
Northwest Passage, this is a small,
traditional Inuvialuit community with
deep roots in hunting, trapping and
Arctic-char fishing. It’s also a basecamp
for trips to Tuktut Nogait National Park,
the Cape Parry Bird Sanctuary, and the
Smoking Hills, a perpetually burning
coal seam. Access is by air from Inuvik.
