Inuksuk Point, Archaeological site on Foxe Peninsula, Nunavut, Canada
This small peninsula contains more than 100 stone inuksuit structures arranged in two distinct groups on a rocky hill near the sea.
The site received National Historic Site designation in 1969, preserving stone structures that date back approximately 2000 years.
Each inuksuk structure represents Inuit ingenuity, serving as communication tools through carefully arranged stones that symbolize different messages.
The stone formations reach heights of 2 meters, marking locations for food caches, navigation points, and areas of significance across the Arctic landscape.
The inuksuit at this location feature specific window formations that align with other structures, creating a complex system of geographic reference points.
