Twin Otter, used for flight from Yellowknife to Bathurst Inlet

We’ve found these links to be of great use to us in arranging travel to the NWT, and for understanding the wildlife, natural history, geology, and history of the Bathurst Inlet area. If you find any valuable arctic history links, especially to online journals, etc., please feel free to email them to us at: info@bathurstinlet.com
