20151214 15245100 1.0 TRUE Arctic Ecozones - Canada’s northern ecozones cover all the arctic islands and offshore waters, and the taiga from the Mackenzie Delta to Labrador. Tuktut Nogait National Park, representative of the Southern Arctic ecozone, supports caribou, muskoxen, and Canada’s rarest bird, the Eskimo curlew. Vegetation, confined by the frozen soil and the cold, dry climate,  includes lichens, mosses, and dwarf shrubs, which burst forth during brief summers. Along the river gorges, a few stunted spruce mark the northern limit of tree growth. <div><br /></div><div>Canadian Geographic <a href='http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/wildlife-nature/?path=english/ecozones/arctic' style='line-height: 1.38462;' target='_blank'>http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/wildlife-nature/?path=english/ecozones/arctic </a></div> Arctic extentArcticCanadaEcozonesArcCanadaEsri CanadaNorthern EcozonesNorthNorthern CanadaTundraTaigaHudson PlainsTaiga Plains Canada’s northern Ecozones cover all the arctic islands and offshore waters, and the taiga from the Mackenzie Delta to Labrador.
