This is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing! This might be a dumb question but where exactly is this? Is the north west territories like the name of the province area? (Sorry am very dumb). 😁

I believe that's the Cirque of the Unclimbables in Nahanni National Park in the Northwest Territories (name correction), Canada.

I can't believe this is an actual real place.
Br81 OP t1_j8wts56 wrote
Thank you! Yah, like the other person pointed out this is cirque of the unclimbables Nahanni National park in the North West Territories. Territories are like provinces but with less people.

Thank you 🙏

It’s an amazing place to visit. Basically it’s a meadow surrounded by massive rock towers. It’s a legendary spot for rock climbers

Another knockout!
Just wanted to say you have quickly become one of, if not my favorite, landscape photographers.
You have such a consistent style and level of quality that I can always tell when it's on of your images that pops up on my feed before I even see the username.
You inspire and infuriate me lol. Keep up the amazing work!

Long ago, before the continents drifted apart, this was MiddleEarth.

They are in fact, climbable.

It is both beautiful and also a place I definitely do not want to be!

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words and it brings me happiness to know that I have been a source of inspiration!🍻

Reminds me of the Misty Mountains from Tolkien. The door to Moria should be just around the corner, no?

I went camping up there a few years back. That was 1 of only like 3 or so places I've ever been where I legitimately felt like I'd stepped in to some fantasy world... And this picture managed to catch that feeling perfectly.

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.
Br81 OP t1_j8xmc4x wrote
Yes! Tolkien’s work and his descriptions of middle earth has always been a huge inspiration for me to get out and explore. I saw a few pictures of this place and that’s exactly what came to mind and I knew I needed to go there
Br81 OP t1_j8xmom3 wrote
Nice! Yah definitely an area straight out of a fantasy novel!

Yess this is my jam man. Can I buy a hi res version off you op, to print at home?
ournamesdontmeanshit t1_j8ymo00 wrote
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.
laujac t1_j8yuhmj wrote
Ice roads. Both are desolate above the Arctic circle. Lots of small communities to supply.
whoknowshank t1_j8z266i wrote
Can you tell me about how you planned this trip? I’m from Alberta and I have been dreaming of Nahanni for years, but I don’t know how to reasonably get there. Drive? Fly? Both? Nearest town has groceries, haul everything in?
You’re not a travel guide so no need to answer if you don’t want, but I’m jealous of your adventure!

This definitely looks like a level in Halo. Is it just black rock and mud or is it.. kinda like Iceland?

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!

How hard is it to get here?

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.

Northwest is one word. That looks weird.
Beautiful picture.
Br81 OP t1_j905g2v wrote
We flew into Whitehorse then drove for about 6 hours east. We then caught a float plane from close to the Yukon boarder with kluane air. After that it’s about a 5-8 h hike to this spot.
Br81 OP t1_j9066z4 wrote
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

I think Kratos travelled through this place with BOY not too long ago, looking for something in Svartalfheim I think it was.
