Nunavut is a unique territory in that it is the only area in Canada not connected to the rest of the country by any highways. The weather station known as Alert is the northernmost place on earth, only 508 miles from the North Pole.
The climate is Arctic and Polar, meaning continuous ice, snow, and freezing temperatures. Even in summer, in the extreme south, the temperatures seldom exceed 15c. Lows in winter can reach -27c, and colder.
