Articles of category "Northwest Territories"

The Northwest Territories is one of the world's last great frontiers. Covering 450,000 sq mi/1.17 million sq km of the Canadian north, it is one of the wildest and most geographically inhospitable parts of North America. The rough and severe landscape and climate are completely compensated by the friendliness of the staff of Northwest territory hotels.

The capital of the Northwest Territories and of Canada's northern most cities is beautiful Yellowknife. Yellowknife is located in a very picturesque area on the Canadian Shield which was scoured down to rock during the last Ice Age. The surrounding Yellowknife landscape is very rocky and slightly rolling with many small lakes in addition to the Great Slave Lake.
