Torngat Mountains National Park

The Torngat Mountains National Park extends across 9,700 square kilometers of northern Labrador, featuring deep fjords, glacier-carved valleys, and arctic tundra landscape.

The area has served as hunting and gathering grounds for Inuit communities over thousands of years before its establishment as a national park in 2005.

The name Torngat originates from Inuktitut word Torngait, meaning place of spirits, reflecting the sacred nature of these lands to indigenous peoples.

Access to the park requires chartered flights to Goose Bay followed by additional air or boat transportation to Saglek base camp.

The park functions as a meeting point between boreal and arctic wildlife, housing both woodland caribou and polar bears within its boundaries.
