Book flights to Arctic Bay

Arctic Bay is located in a very interesting spot! It's a hamlet situated on the northern tip of Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada. That means it's pretty far north, close to the Arctic Circle. The community sits along the shore of Adams Sound, which leads out to Lancaster Sound and the Northwest Passage, a famous historical water route through the Arctic. Fun fact: Arctic Bay is known as the "place of the pocket" in Inuktitut, the language of the Inuit people. This refers to the way the community is sheltered by protective hills on three sides. The area is also home to a variety of Arctic wildlife, including narwhals and bowhead whales!
