I drove through a lot of the NWT and Yukon. A lot of it is simply shrubs and rocks. Just vast expanses of nothing. In Alaska it’s more beautiful South of the Arctic circle. Great fishing everywhere though.

NWT and Yukon are over 1.6 million sq. km. With about 9000 kilometres of roads, so I really don’t think you drove through a lot of those 2 territories.

Ice roads. Both are desolate above the Arctic circle. Lots of small communities to supply.

It's really difficult to judge the NT based off from what one might see on the ice roads. Which would be ice and snow. It's gorgeous in the summer!

It really is in the eye of the beholder. Vast expanses of nothing is something I love. It's filled with life. Even in winter.

Yah a lot of the Canadian North is Tundra but but it definitely has its fair share of world class mountains. This particular spot is world renowned for rock climbing
