Rankin Inlet, Territorial hamlet in Kivalliq Region, Canada
The settlement lies on the Kudlulik Peninsula facing Hudson Bay, forming the second largest community in Nunavut with rocky terrain and tundra valleys.
The North Rankin Nickel Mine operated from 1957 to 1962, employing Inuit miners and establishing the first mining settlement in the Canadian territory.
The Matchbox Gallery displays ceramics from the only Inuit fine arts production facility, where local artists create traditional pieces in various materials.
Transportation to Rankin Inlet occurs through airlines Calm Air and Canadian North, as the community lacks permanent road connections to other Canadian cities.
Iqalugaarjuup Nunanga Territorial Park contains archaeological sites dating to 1000 BC and maintains paths for observing caribou and Arctic ground squirrels.
