Yellowknife

Yellowknife lies along the northern shore of Great Slave Lake, where Canadian Shield bedrock and boreal forest meet the broad waters of one of North America’s deepest lakes. As the capital of the Northwest Territories, it is the region’s administrative centre and an important base for travel across Canada’s North. Old Town recalls the gold-mining boom that established the community in the 1930s, while the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre presents the territory’s cultural and natural history. Winter brings the long dark hours for which Yellowknife is known as an aurora-viewing destination; summer extends daylight far into the evening.
