Frequently Asked Questions

Located just north of Yellowknife, Yellow Dog is in the heart of the Arctic taiga. The Northwest Territories and Nunavut represent 33% of Canada’s landmass but only 0.2% of the population. Extreme is not pop-culture, but tradition, as the Arctic is home to the oldest rock on the planet, the highest waterfalls in North America, the fifth largest freshwater lake in the world, North America’s first diamond mine and some of the coldest recorded temperatures in Canada. To experience the north is truly extreme.
