WHAT DOES THE FAR NORTH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

the Far North

Northern Canada

Northern Canada, colloquially the North, is the vast northernmost region of Canada variously defined by geography and politics. Politically, the term refers to the three territories of Canada: Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. Similarly, the Far North may refer to the Canadian Arctic: the portion of Canada north of the Arctic Circle. Other parts of Northern Canada may include Northern Quebec and Northern Labrador. These reckonings somewhat depend on the concept of nordicity, a measure of northernness that other Arctic territories share. Canada, a country in northern North America whose population is concentrated along its southern frontier with the United States, is frequently reckoned to not have a 'south.' As such, the 'south' is only perceived as a region when it is contrasted to or viewed from those in the north.
