About Whale Cove
Alternate Name: Tikirarjuaq

TIME ZONE: Central
A very traditional Inuit community, Whale Cove is located on the sheltered west coast of Hudson Bay, south of Rankin Inlet in Nunavut Territory. A ridge of rock surrounds the community, and the permafrost extends to one metre. The people of Whale Cove still rely heavily on hunting and fishing both for food, and for artisan materials. With no road access to Whale Cove, the region relies on air transport. Whale Cove has much to offer, from fishing and hunting expeditions, arctic camping and wildlife watching, land and water tours, to easy-going dog sled rides and whale watching.
