It’s Nunavut Day today, and we’re having another cloudy, rainy day in the capital (we haven’t seen the sun in over a week). But that doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten just how special Nunavut sunsets can be. Thus, to celebrate this special day, we have compiled 16 glorious Nunavut sunsets for Nunavut’s sweet-16 birthday.

As always, we encourage you to check out these profiles if you want more Nunafriends on Instagram. And of course, don’t forget to follow us on Instagram – we’ve been regramming our favourite nunagram photos in honour of Nunavut Day all week!
