Will & Kate’s Royal Travel has people asking Where is Yellowknife, Canada?

Prince William and Kate Middleton have surfaced in Yellowknife, Canada today, leaving a lot of us asking, where the heck is Yellowknife?

Set in the wondrous natural surroundings of Great Slave Lake, Yellowknife, Diamond Capital of North America, is a remarkably modern city - a city where you can experience rustic nature and traditional culture without forgoing urban amenities.

According to the town's official site:

Whether you are driving on an ice road; dancing under the aurora borealis; enjoying a dogsled ride; golfing under the midnight sun; fishing for world class trophies; or watching the creation of a brilliant northern diamond, we know you'll enjoy the character of our city and feel the warmth of our Northern hospitality!

250 miles (400km) south of the Arctic Circle and in the heart of the wilderness, Yellowknife is the capital and largest city of the Northwest Territories. The town was first settled in 1935 after locals found gold in the area, and Yellowknife soon became the center of economic activity in the Northwest Territories. It shifted from being a mining town to a center of government in the 1980s, but the discovery of diamonds in 1991 brought a shift back to its roots.

Will and Kate arrived in the Somba K'ie Civic Plaza this afternoon and took part in aboriginal traditions and activities, such as prayer, drumming, dancing, Arctic sports and a game of street hockey.

After William made a few remarks, the couple planted a ceremonial shrub and unveiled a plaque to mark their visit.

Later, they'll meet with local teens during a session of youth parliament before a plane zips them to nearby Blachford Lake, where they will meet with Canadian Rangers and end the day at the Dechinta Centre for Research and Learning.

Highlights on the tour include observing a moose hide tanning, touring the organic gardens and greenhouses, going on a medicine walk and participating in a roundfire discussion with students and elders from across the region.
