Pingualuit National Park

Pingualuit National Park is a provincial park in northern Quebec on the Ungava Peninsula, southwest of Kangiqsujuaq, centered on the relatively young Pingualuit crater. Managed by the Kativik Regional Government, it preserves a far northern tundra landscape well beyond the tree line, with continuous permafrost, no trees, and sparse vegetation shaped by intense cold, wind, and dryness. Fragile groundcover has led to restricted access in some areas. Wildlife includes migratory caribou, geese, wolves, foxes, snowy owls, Arctic hares, and inland-moving polar bears. Seasonal travel supports summer expeditions, winter dog sledding and ski touring, outdoor recreation, and cultural experiences linked to Kangiqsujuaq.
