Northern Lights
One of the wonders of Nunavut is the Northern Lights seen in the evenings quite well due to low distractions of competing lights.
The northern lights display a variety of colors, most commonly green, which is caused by oxygen. Other colors include red (from oxygen at higher altitudes), blue and purple (from nitrogen and hydrogen/helium), and pink, which is often a mix of green and red or a result of nitrogen at lower altitudes.

Iqaluit[a] is the capital of the Canadian territory of Nunavut. It is the territory's largest community and its only city, and the northernmost city in Canada. It was known as Frobisher Bay from 1942 to 1987, after the large bay on the coast on which the city is situated. Its traditional Inuktitut name was restored in 1987.
In 1999, Iqaluit was designated the capital of Nunavut after the division of the Northwest Territories into two separate territories. Before this event, Iqaluit was a small city and not well known outside the Canadian Arctic or Canada, with population and economic growth highly limited. This is due to Iqaluit's isolation and heavy dependence on expensive imported supplies, as the city, like the rest of Nunavut, has no road or rail connections to the rest of Canada, and has ship connections for only part of the year. Iqaluit has a polar climate, influenced by the cold deep waters of the Labrador Current just off Baffin Island, which makes the city cold, although it is well south of the Arctic Circle.
