Köppen climate types in the Northwest Territories. The Northwest Territories extends for more than 1,300,000 km 2 (500,000 sq mi) and has a large climate variant from south to north. The southern part of the territory (most of the mainland portion) has a subarctic climate, while the islands and northern coast have a polar climate.
As a social rather than political region, the Canadian North is often subdivided into two distinct regions based on climate, the near north and the far north.
