Sirmilik - Nunavut
Located on the northern tip of Baffin Island, Sirmilik derives it's name from the Inuktitut word meaning "place of glaciers." One of Canada's most isolated National Parks, it encompasses a variety of Arctic landscapes, from the scenic fjords and high cliffs of Oliver Sound to the plateaus and river valleys of the Borden Peninsula and Bylot Island's rugged mountains, glaciers and ice fields.

Bylot Island's steep coastal cliffs provide nesting habitats to thousands of Arctic seabirds, the most diverse population in the region. The moist lowland tundra of the island's southwest corner supplies ideal nesting conditions for the Arctic's largest population of Greater Snow Geese, as well as a wide variety of songbirds, shorebirds and waterfowl. Vegetation is abundant, with more than 360 species of plants identified on Bylot Island alone.

Sirmilik is also home to Caribou, Wolves, Arctic Foxes, Lemmings and Arctic hare, and its floes thrive with Polar Bears, Walrus and Seals, as well as Narwhal, Bowhead and Beluga whales. The wide variety of geographic features that support this diversity of wildlife provide excellent opportunities for boating, kayaking, hiking, snorkeling and diving in one of the Arctic's most spectacular landscapes.
