Ulukhaktok rewards daily life with sweeping Arctic horizons, a close-knit Inuvialuit community, and a renowned printmaking tradition that has carried the Holman name to galleries worldwide. On Victoria Island’s rugged coast, residents enjoy midnight sun in summer and auroras in winter, with tundra trails, coastal bluffs, and sea-ice vistas right outside the door. Regular air links connect the hamlet to Inuvik and Yellowknife, making travel, supplies, and services practical despite the remote setting, and the community’s place profile shines on the region’s official tourism page.
Families appreciate the strong local school, Helen Kalvak Elihakvik School, which offers K–12 learning rooted in culture and land-based programs, while aspiring adults build skills through Aurora College’s community learning opportunities. Outdoor life here is second nature—ice fishing, spring geese, and muskox on the horizon—while adventurous weekends can include regional trips to Tuktoyaktuk via connections through Inuvik’s road to the Arctic Ocean. For unforgettable wilderness, paddlers and photographers look to Aulavik National Park, a pristine expanse known for the Thomsen River and roaming muskox, reachable by charter. When larger shopping or medical referrals are needed, ties to Hay River complement local services and seasonal resupply.
