Cape Dorset Sound

Cape Dorset Sound is a natural waterway in northern Canada, located within the Arctic Archipelago in Nunavut. It connects to Baffin Bay and serves as an important marine route and habitat for marine life. The sound is characterized by its icy waters, rugged coastlines, and fjord-like features, supporting both local Inuit communities and diverse wildlife such as seals, whales, and Arctic birds. It plays a vital role in regional transportation, subsistence hunting, and cultural activities. Its environment is shaped by cold temperatures and seasonal ice, making it a distinctive and ecologically significant part of the Arctic landscape.
