    • Landmarks

      Crystal II - an ancient Inuit camping ground which has lasted for thousands of years, mainly because it is still used even this day. It is located near the end of the road towards the dump. You will need to have local assistance to find the site.

      *Nunavut Legislature - the location of Nunavut's legislative assembly. You may look around the main floor of the building, but be sure to announce yourself to the security guard before going too far. The main entrance of the Legislature has two spires of wood which resembles a Qamotiq, a type of Inuit dog sled.

      *St Jude's Anglican Cathedral - a white, domed and spired church building designed to resemble an igloo, the interior of which was recently (November 2005) destroyed by fire and has since been demolished. There are plans to rebuild the Cathedral in the future.

    • Museums and Galleries

      The Nunatta Sunakkutaangit Museum - houses a large collection of Inuit and Arctic artifacts and art. It is on the beach in a white and red building.

      *Iqaluit Public Library - a public library which houses a very informative Nunavut tourism office. A smaller museum of Arctic animals is located in the building beside the tourism office.

      *The Baffin regional visitors center has information on the whole territory as well as displays on local wildlife and culture in an adjoining museum.

    *Iqaluit is home to the highest grossing Royal Canadian Legion in the country. While it is intended (as legions are in the south) as a military bar, it has evolved over the years into Iqaluit's premier nightlife location. Entry requires a sign-in from an existing legion member, however, these tend to be easy to come by.
