Midnight Sun Mosque
Known as the northernmost mosque in North America, it was trucked and barged about 4,000 kilometres from Manitoba in 2010.
The local Muslim community raised funds to have this small mosque prefabricated in the south. It was transported by road and by barge along the Mackenzie River to Inuvik, becoming a distinctive landmark inside the Arctic Circle. A minaret was added later. You can view the exterior at any time. To go inside, contact the community in advance and dress modestly, and be mindful of prayer times. It is north of town, so you can photograph it along with the Igloo Church.
