About Akpatok Island
Akpatok Island is a large, uninhabited island in the north-west of Ungava Bay, off the northern coast of Quebec, and part of Nunavut. Its flat limestone plateau, about 90,000 hectares in size, ends in sheer cliffs up to about 200 m high, with waterfalls dropping from the top.
The name comes from akpat, the Inuktitut word for murre, and in summer huge numbers of thick-billed murres nest on the cliff ledges. The island is a Canadian Important Bird Area and a Key Migratory Bird Terrestrial Habitat site.
Walruses haul out on its beaches, while drifting ice brings seals, polar bears and whales. Akpatok is a traditional Inuit hunting ground, and Dorset people left the remains of an ancient settlement here.
