Tanquary Fiord, Arctic fjord in Quttinirpaaq National Park, Nunavut, Canada.
The fjord extends 48 kilometers in a northwestern direction from Greely Fiord, surrounded by glaciers and meeting points of four river valleys.
Scientists determined through radiocarbon dating that deglaciation in the fjord area occurred between 10,000 and 4,100 years before present.
Research using radiocarbon analysis of charcoal confirms that Inuit populations inhabited the Tanquary Fiord region at least 1070 years before present.
Parks Canada maintains a Warden Station during summer months, and visitors can access the location through charter aircraft or icebreaker cruise ships.
The fjord experiences 65 frost-free days annually with summer temperatures reaching 18°C, creating conditions suitable for growing lettuce in this Arctic environment.
