Caribous. Parc de Kuruurjuaq.Robert Fréchette, KRG
Tunngasugit! Welcome!
This expedition offers both fascinating outdoor adventure through the heart of the Mount D’Iberville (Kauvvik) sector as well as an opportunity to share the company of an Inuit family in the community of Kangiqsualujjuaq. The whistling wind in this sector of the park is a constant element that embodies a timeless spirit. Here, you will feel yourself released from the bonds of time. The Mount D’Iberville sector occupies a special magical and spiritual place in Inuit tradition: the abode of the supreme being in their mythology. The Inuit name for this region, Torngait, means “place inhabited by the spirits”. Throughout this back-country expedition, visitors will sense the veiled presence of Inuit legends and myths. Let our guides share this exceptional territory with you.
