Keyhole Glacier

Keyhole Glacier is a glacial formation on Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic. The glacier has a distinctive shape that becomes apparent when viewed from elevated vantage points.

Canadian hydrologists conducted systematic observations of this glacier between 1945 and 1980. These measurements helped improve understanding of Arctic ice movements and behavior.

Scientists gather at this location to study glacial patterns, contributing to the understanding of environmental changes in Canada's northern territories.

Access requires specialized transportation arranged through authorized tour operators in Nunavut. These operators provide the necessary safety equipment and expert guidance for visits.

The glacier maintains specific patterns of ice movement and melt cycles that affect local water systems and contribute to Arctic hydrological processes.
