Welcome to an ancient land, where the culture can be traced back to about 500 BC – a place where wildlife outnumbers people and adventure knows no limits.
Each of the region’s seven communities can offer you a unique experience, and you’ll find the stark beauty of the immense landscape is matched by the warmth of the people who live here.
You’ll go back in time as you visit ancient archaeological sites and witness polar bears, grizzly bears, and muskoxen roaming freely. The region encompasses the western shore of Hudson Bay and both Southampton and Coats Islands, and has a typical Arctic climate with long, dark winters and short, cool summers. Most of the communities in the Kivalliq are located below the Arctic Circle, meaning the light cycle here is less pronounced than in the rest of Nunavut.
