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.

Map of the world using hexagons of the same area, with landmasses and oceans categorized as different Lifezones, also arranged hexagonally. The Holdridge life zones system is a global bioclimatic scheme for the classification of land areas. It was first published by Leslie Holdridge in 1947, and updated in 1967.
