Contest #944: Qaqulluit Island, Nunavut, Canada

Last week’s contest was the final one in the Canada series that saw players visit every province and territory as well as a quick trip across the Atlantic Ocean to Canada House in London, England. The final contest was the northeastern tip of the Qaqulluit Island, Nunavut. The Qaqulluit National Wildlife Area was established in 2010 to protect Canada’s largest breeding colony of Northern Fulmar (estimated at about 27,000 pairs). Qaqulluit is the Inuktitut word for “fulmar”. Qaqulluit is a cultural important area for Inuit, which continues to be used for subsistence today. The NWA comprises the northeastern tip of the Qaqulluit Island and its surrounding waters extending to the territorial sea limit.
