Canada Tuktoyaktuk
Tuktoyaktuk is the most northern road-accessible community in Canada. It sits on the edge of the Beaufort Sea (Arctic Ocean) at the end of the Dempster Highway. It is as remote as is it is beautiful.
Photography Tips
Explore the area. Being well above the arctic circle, in summer (when most will visit) there is light 24 hours a day, and in winter the sun does not crack the horizon. Plan accordingly.
