A 120m aerial view of Inuvik, Northwest Territories taken on a relatively warm summer day.  Inuvik was settled in 1954 as an alternative administrative centre to nearby Aklavik.  It became an official town on New Years Day 1970 w/ a population of 3,137 citizens as of 2021, making it the second largest settlement in Northwest Territories.  Until 1990, the economy of Inuvik was based largely on the Canadian Armed Forces & petroleum exploration.  While English is spoken, schools teach the native Inuinnaqtun & Gwich'in & a local radio station also broadcasts in those languages.  There is also a population of about 100 Muslims who have lived in the region for economic opportunity.  Being in the vicinity of the Arctic Ocean, the weather can be sporadic.  The record lowest temperature recorded here was on February 4, 1968 registering -56.7*C (-70.1*F) while the record high was on both June 17, 1999 & July 20, 2001 at 32.8*C (91.0*F).

Here one can also see the famous Igloo Church.  The streets around Inuvik are paved & may just be the northernmost paved roads in North America.  The East Channel of the Mackenzie River sits alongside the town & serves as the Aklavik Winter Road when frozen.  The channel is part of the greater Mackenzie River Delta, whose branching channels, ponds, & wetlands spread more than 12,000 square kilometres of coastal plain.  The delta is 210km from north to south & b/w 50-80km wide, being the second biggest Arctic delta after Russia's Lena River.  The Mackenzie Delta also contains a logjam with 400,000 caches of wood, which stores 3.4 million tons of carbon, equivalent to a year's emissions from 2.5 million cars.
