Pond Inlet, Nunavut
Pond Inlet a small, predominantly Inuit, community situated on the shores of north Baffin Island overlooking the waters of Eclipse Sound across to the towering mountains and glaciers of Bylot Island and Sirmilik National park. Pond Inlet, or Mittimatalik as it is known by local residents, is a place of beauty and charm where the old traditions of Inuit Culture meet and blend with that of the latest technology. It was named in 1818 by explorer John Ross for John Pond an English astronomer.
As a tourist destination, 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.
