Ungava Bay
View the vast expanse of one of the world's most dramatic bodies of water, known for its extreme tidal ranges.
Coastal Ice Floes
During winter and spring months, witness the complex patterns of pack ice and shore-fast ice along the bay.
Arnaud River Estuary
The mouth of the Payne River creates a beautiful network of islands and channels near Kangirsuk.
Marine Wildlife
Keep a close watch on the shoreline for potential sightings of seals or even beluga whales in the summer.
Sit on the left to capture the morning sun reflecting off the water. This side provides the best perspective of the coastline's unique geology, especially during low tide when the vast intertidal zones are revealed. In late summer, the deep blue of the bay contrasts sharply with the rocky shore.

Arctic Tundra
An endless, treeless landscape that showcases the raw beauty of the Canadian Shield.
Glacial Lake Clusters
Thousands of small, crystal-clear lakes left behind by retreating glaciers dot the interior.
Caribou Trails
Visible from above, look for the thin lines across the mossy ground carved by migrating caribou herds.
Rocky Outcrops
Ancient rock formations typical of the Nunavik region, appearing as jagged ridges across the horizon.
The right side is best for those interested in the vastness of the interior. In late August and September, the tundra turns vibrant shades of red and orange. Use a polarizing filter on your camera to cut the glare from the numerous small lakes that reflect the bright Arctic sky.
