I've always wanted to travel to our three territories. I feel they aren't appreciated enough in the grand scheme of things.

The Yukon is road-accessible, but it's a 22-hour drive from YYC and I don't know if I'm up for that yet.

The Northwest Territories are also road-accessible, and fairly cheap to fly to, as well, starting from ~500 dollars.

However, where I really want to go is Nunavut, and specifically, Iqaluit. It's the smallest capital city in the country - and, I believe, in North America. However, there are no roads to Iqaluit, and the cheapest flight I can find starts at $3000. One-way.

To put that in perspective, I could fly to Tokyo and back three times for that price.

Why is it so expensive to fly to Nunavut? Why can't you drive there? Has anyone here ever travelled to Nunavut? How did you get there? How much was the cost? What was it like?
