Kangiqtualuk Uqquqti, Arctic fjord in Qikiqtaaluk Region, Nunavut, Canada.

The fjord stretches 110 kilometers from north northeast to south southwest, with vertical granite cliffs reaching heights of 1500 meters.

The area was shaped by glacial forces during the last Ice Age, creating deep waters and extensive cliff formations along the coastline.

The fjord holds significance as a traditional Inuit hunting ground, providing essential resources for local communities through generations.

Access to Kangiqtualuk Uqquqti requires careful planning and is primarily achieved by boat or air travel from the settlement of Clyde River.

The fjord contains a massive cliff located 49 kilometers from its mouth, featuring a vertical drop of 1,368 meters into the water.
