About
Embark on an adventure to Kekerten Territorial Park, where history whispers amid the Arctic winds. Traverse the interpretive trail, uncovering the tales of 19th-century whalers, and gaze upon the remnants of their bygone era. While camping is not permitted within the historic site, the surrounding wilderness offers a backdrop for exploration and reflection.
When to go
The ideal time to visit Kekerten Territorial Park is from mid-July to late September, when the sea ice recedes, allowing for boat access. Winter adventurers can venture from early May to mid-June by snowmobile, but should heed local guidance on ice conditions.

- Local Inuit guides are invaluable for navigating sea ice and potential polar bear encounters.
- Respect Nunavut laws by not disturbing or removing any artifacts or natural features.
- Emergency shelter is available at the park, but plan ahead as camping within the historic site is not allowed.
