Ungava Bay Coastline
The rugged interaction between the rocky Canadian Shield and the cold Arctic waters.
Arctic Sea Ice
Depending on the season, spectacular views of white and blue ice floes drifting near the shore.
Tidal Inlets
Deeply carved rocky channels that experience some of the world's highest tidal ranges.
Hopes Advance Bay
The scenic water approach near Kangirsuk where the Payne River meets the bay.
Coastal Cliffs
Dramatic rock formations providing nesting sites for peregrine falcons and gyrfalcons.
This side is superior for maritime scenery. If flying in late spring, you may spot seals on the ice. The morning sun illuminates the bay beautifully, while winter flights often offer the best chance to see the interaction between frozen sea and snow-covered land.

Glacial Kettle Lakes
Thousands of small, crystal-clear lakes carved by retreating glaciers thousands of years ago.
Caribou Trails
