Resolute, Inuit hamlet in Qikiqtaaluk Region, Canada.
The settlement stretches along the northern coast of Resolute Bay, surrounded by tundra landscapes and Arctic waters at 74 degrees north latitude.
The Canadian government established this settlement in 1953 through the High Arctic relocation program, moving Inuit families from Northern Quebec to assert sovereignty.
The local Inuit population maintains traditional hunting practices during extended periods of darkness, as reflected in the name Qausuittuq, meaning place without dawn.
The Resolute Bay Airport functions as the primary transportation center for research expeditions, connecting scientists and travelers to locations across the High Arctic.
Scientists conduct research at the bay using first-year sea ice formations to study metal contamination patterns and marine biological systems in Arctic conditions.
