Resolute Bay

Nestled at the top of Canada in Nunavut, Resolute Bay (or Qausuittuq, meaning "place with no dawn" in Inuktitut) offers a unique Arctic experience. This Inuit hamlet on Cornwallis Island boasts the title of Canada's second-northernmost community and was a key point along the historic Northwest Passage. Explore the surrounding waters for wildlife encounters with polar bears, belugas, and more, or delve into the area's past through Cold War relics and abandoned planes. Hike through Tupirvik Territorial Park's ancient seabed, teeming with fossils millions of years old. For a taste of local culture, visit the Tudjaat Co-op to find handmade clothing, carvings, and artwork, or stock up on supplies at the Arctic Co-op Store.
