Pond Inlet, Canada

Pond Inlet is a small, predominantly Inuit community in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada and is located at the top of Baffin Island.

Pond Inlet is considered one of Canada's "jewels of the North". It is one of the most picturesque communities with mountainous ranges viewable from all directions. Icebergs are most often accessible from the community within walking distance or a short snowmobile ride in winter. Pond Inlet boasts a nearby floe edge, several dozen glaciers, explorable ice caves, and many grand and picturesque inlets.

Visitors to Pond Inlet can visit the brand new Nattinnak Visitor's Information Centre, hike to Qilaukat 2 km west of town to explore the remains of an old Thule village, or visit a traditional Inuit home called a qarmaq.
