Meta Incognita Peninsula
Rugged, high-altitude tundra and rocky plateaus that define the southern tip of Baffin Island.

The jagged, rocky coastline where the Canadian Shield meets the Hudson Strait.
Koksoak River
The massive, winding river system that leads directly into Kuujjuaq, offering spectacular views during final approach.
Permafrost Patterns

Ensure your camera is ready for the high-contrast terrain of the Meta Incognita Peninsula.
