Lake Neueltin

Lake Neueltin is a body of water located on the border of Manitoba and Nunavut provinces. It is included in the list of the largest lakes in Canada and is considered the fourth largest lake Nunavut with an area of water surface in 2030 square kilometers. The name of the lake from the Chipevian language, which was used by the Indians, means “lake of the sleeping island”. Its discoverer was Samuel Hearn in 1770-1772. Now the lake is very popular due to sports fishing, which is carried out on its shore.

Lake Neueltin is located at an altitude of 278 meters above sea level. In its waters there are different types of fish, such as lake trout, Arctic harius and northern pike. Professional study of the pond began only in 1947 during the expedition Newelting Lake.
