Km 736: Inuvik: The Dempster Highway ends at the community of Inuvik. From here, a flight to Tuktoyaktuk is highly recommended - as well as seeing an Arctic village, the aerial views of the Mackenzie Delta are remarkable (see our Guide to Tuktoyaktuk for more information). This view is of Inuvik as we headed north in a Twin Otter on July 9, 2003. Our pilot for this flight was world-famous polar rescue pilot Bob Heath - now there was a man who loved his work. Tragically, he and 2 others were killed in a Twin Otter crash in Antarctica in January 2013.
