This remote Arctic wilderness is where you can \u201cget away from it all\u201d in the most literal sense possible.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Quttinirpaaq (pronounced \u201ckoo-tin-ir-pa-ak\u201d) recently landed on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cntraveler.com\/story\/the-most-remote-places-on-earth-you-can-actually-visit\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveler<\/a>\u2019s list of the most remote places on Earth you can actually visit.<\/p>\n<p>Its name is Inuktitut for \u201cat the top,\u201d which feels pretty fitting considering its location. Parks Canada describes the landscape as one dominated by mountains, glaciers, and fjords.<\/p>\n<p>Besides extreme isolation, depending on what time of year you visit, you can also experience the Midnight Sun and the beauty of the polar desert.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFew visitors make it here, but those who do find a landscape that feels infinite,\u201d writes Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveler.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fireweed-640x360.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" class=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Parks Canada<\/p>\n<p>Sprawling across 37,775 square kilometres, Quttinirpaaq is <a href=\"https:\/\/thecanadianencyclopedia.ca\/en\/article\/largest-national-parks-in-canada\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Canada\u2019s second-largest national park<\/a>, behind Alberta\u2019s Wood Buffalo National Park, which is described as \u201c larger than Denmark.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite its enormous size, though, <a href=\"https:\/\/parks.canada.ca\/pn-np\/nu\/quttinirpaaq\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Parks Canada<\/a> says the park only gets around 150 visitors every year, meaning you could go days without seeing someone else. You will, however, see your fair share of muskoxen and wolves.<\/p>\n<p>Getting to Quttinirpaaq is no easy feat. You\u2019ll first need to fly to Iqaluit, Nunavut, then continue on to Resolute Bay with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/canadiannorth.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Canadian North<\/a>, an airline that offers regular service to Iqaluit from Ottawa, Montreal, and Yellowknife.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a trip that can come with a hefty price tag, too, with October flights costing more than $2,300 from Toronto or $2,400 from Vancouver. From Resolute Bay, you\u2019ll then hop aboard a small eight-seat plane to reach the park. Transportation can also be arranged through a licensed tour operator.<\/p>\n<p>Parks Canada says visiting Quttinirpaaq National Park is \u201ca once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,\u201d and we can\u2019t help but agree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you\u2019re having a bad day and just want to be left alone with some peace and quiet,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":901382,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[49,48,295,66],"class_list":["post-901381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-environment","tag-science"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/901381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=901381"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/901381\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/901382"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=901381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=901381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=901381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
