Search flights from YUX to YGT
Foxe Basin
Expansive views of the Arctic waters, which remain covered in massive pack ice for much of the year.
Igloolik Townsite
A clear bird's-eye view of the vibrant Arctic settlement as the aircraft banks for landing.
Igloolik Island
The unique limestone-based island geography emerging from the surrounding basin waters.
Turton Bay
The sheltered bay where local shipping and traditional hunting activities are most concentrated.
The right side is ideal for spotting the 'floe edge' during the spring (June/July) where land-fast ice meets the open sea. For the best photographic results, choose morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the Arctic sun over the water or ice.

Melville Peninsula Shoreline
Rugged Arctic coastlines featuring intricate rocky outcroppings and seasonal ice formations.
Permafrost Patterns
Geological formations like frost polygons and small kettle lakes visible across the tundra.
Hooper Inlet
The deep coastal indentations that separate the mainland from the northern archipelago.
Keep your eyes peeled for land-based wildlife like caribou or muskoxen during the summer months when the snow has melted. In winter, the low sun angle creates dramatic shadows across the white landscape, emphasizing the subtle topography of the permafrost.
