CATUK🇨🇦Canada

Tuktoyaktuk is a Canadian harbor located on the Arctic Ocean, serving as a vital supply point for the region. It handles cargo for the local community and supports Arctic exploration and research vessels. The port features tug assistance and is a key hub for maritime activity in the Northwest Territories.

Background
Tuktoyaktuk is an Inuvialuit hamlet near the Mackenzie River delta in the Inuvik Region of the Northwest Territories, Canada, at the northern terminus of the Inuvik–Tuktoyaktuk Highway. One of six Inuvialuit communities in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, it is commonly known by its first syllable, Tuk. It lies north of the Arctic Circle on the Arctic Ocean, and is the only place on the Arctic Ocean connected to the rest of Canada by road. Known as Port Brabant after British colonization, in 1950 it became Canada's first Indigenous settlement to reclaim its traditional name.
