We take time spent in the Great Outdoors very seriously here in the North. Explore some of the best sandy beaches (yes, we have sandy beaches) throughout the territories—the best place to enjoy the short but spectacular summers—and find out what it takes to raise an adventure pup. Also in this issue, bike through fjords and mountains and dive amidst icebergs and polar bears.

Scattered throughout the territories, some beaches are well-kept secrets, others are beloved by all, and a few hold fascinating histories buried beneath the sand.
