AULAVIK NATIONAL PARK
Aulavik means “place where people
travel” in the local Inuvialuktun
language. This remote, fl y-in only
Arctic park is located on Banks Island
near the community of Sachs
Harbour. Aulavik is home to the
endangered Peary caribou and the
world’s highest concentration of
muskox. The landscape includes
rolling hills, buttes, badlands, river
valleys and seacoasts. The Thomsen
River, one of the continent’s most
northerly navigable river, runs
through the heart of the park. The
land has supported pre-Dorset
cultures and the Inuvialuit people for
more than 3,400 years (www.
