Our favorite hikes in the Qikiqtaaluk region

Qikiqtaaluk is one of the three regions (Kitikmeot, Kivalliq, Qikiqtaaluk) under which Travel Nunavut lists its members (travelnunavut.ca/members). They are also the territory's three census divisions; Travel Nunavut does not publish a tourism boundary map.

Its thirteen communities: Iqaluit, Arctic Bay, Kinngait (Cape Dorset), Clyde River, Grise Fiord, Hall Beach, Igloolik, Kimmirut, Pangnirtung, Pond Inlet, Qikiqtarjuaq, Resolute and Sanikiluaq.
