It takes hours of flying across Canada’s vast, trackless north to reach Yellowknife, a small city on the northern shore of Great Slave Lake one of the deepest and largest lakes in the world. The region is as remote as it is pristine. But travelers are drawn here from around the world to witness the splendor of the aurora borealis, otherwise known as the Northern Lights.

A popular fish camp just outside Yellowknife where people can experience life on the land for a day is back for a second year.
Camp Liwe, which means fish in Wiliideh, teaches traditional skills to the general public, including kids of all ages.
Located on Mackenzie Island, just off the Dettah ice road on the shores of Great Slave Lake, the site has wall tents for group workshops on fish cleaning and preparing food.
