Cheap Arctic Bay Vacation Packages

Arctic Bay is an Inuit village located on Baffin Island in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada. It is also named 'Ikpiarjuk' which means 'the pocket' in the local language and is in a direct reference to the village’s scenic geographical location among hills on three sides. Arctic Bay is a truly incredible place for hiking, exploring natural scenery and bird watching, and for admiring the cultural events organized by the indigenous people here. If you’re coming here for viewing sea life here, you would be in for a real treat as Arctic Bay is a regional hotbed of bowhead whales, narwhals, seals, polar bears; besides arctic hares, arctic foxes, lemmings and marmots are also found along the shores. During the winters, another plus here is the prospect of ice fishing.
