Getting to the islands that make up Qausuittuq National Park is an adventure in itself, but once you arrive in this Western High Arctic Natural Region, there’s a surprisingly diverse amount of flora and wildlife, including muskoxen, endangered peary caribou, arctic foxes and shorebirds. In addition, the park's waters are home to bearded seals, walruses, bowhead whales, beluga whales, and narwhals. In this remote park, tent camping is allowed anywhere that doesn’t disturb archaeological sites, fragile ecosystems, or wildlife.

Know Before You Go

  • To access the park, you’ll need to fly into the tiny community of Resolute Bay from Iqaluit, then charter a plane.
  • Everyone entering the park must register and attend an orientation, which should be booked 48 hours in advance of arriving at the Parks Canada office in Iqaluit. Travelers also need to de-register upon leaving.
  • To visit, you’ll want to book your trip using a local outfitter who can guide you through the park and provide the right equipment, such as snowmobiles.
  • The park is home to inuit people relocated to the area by the Canadian federal government in the 1950s. Expect to hear the Inuktitut language spoken here.
