Clyde River, Inuit settlement in Patricia Bay, Baffin Island, Canada.

The hamlet extends across a floodplain near Patricia Bay, surrounded by ten fjords and mountains of the Arctic Cordillera reaching into Davis Strait.

The Hudson Bay Company established a trading post in 1924, marking the start of permanent European settlement in this area of Baffin Island.

The Piqqusilirivvik Inuit Cultural Learning Centre educates students about traditional hunting methods, language preservation, and whalebone carving techniques.

The community maintains air connections through regular flights to Iqaluit and Pond Inlet, with annual supply deliveries arriving by sea vessels.

The surrounding cliffs attract mountain climbers from around the world, while the waters contain narwhals, bowhead whales, and various marine mammals.
