| Tuktoyaktuk, often called "Tuk," is a small hamlet located in the Northwest Territories of Canada. It's famously recognized as the northern terminus of the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway, which makes it the only community in Canada accessible by a public road leading directly to the Arctic Ocean. This gives it the nickname "End of the Road." | |
