What is the capital of Nunavut?

  1. Yellowknife

  2. Iqaluit

  3. Nuuk

  4. Whitehorse

The correct answer is: Iqaluit

While all of the other options may be capital cities of Canadian territories or provinces, only Iqaluit is the capital of Nunavut. Yellowknife is the capital of the Northwest Territories, Nuuk is the capital of Greenland, and Whitehorse is the capital of Yukon. Iqaluit is located on Baffin Island, which is the largest island in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and also the largest island in Canada. It was chosen as the capital of Nunavut in 1995, just before the territory was officially created in 1999.
