Kattimannap Qurlua, Arctic waterfall in Nunavut, Canada
Kattimannap Qurlua cascades down 60 meters through the gorge of Hood River, creating two distinct drops in the northern landscape.
The waterfall received its current name in 2020, replacing its former designation as Wilberforce Falls, which honored an English anti-slavery politician.
The name change to Kattimannap Qurlua reflects the Inuit presence and their connection to the land in this region of Nunavut.
Access to this remote waterfall requires careful planning and preparation, as it stands north of the Arctic Circle in challenging terrain.
This water feature ranks among the few substantial waterfalls located on mainland North America above the Arctic Circle.
