Kuttinerpak National Park 278 Government Road, Iqaluit, NU X0A 0H0, Canada

Description:

Kuttinirpaaq National Park (Parc national Quttinirpaaq) is located in the far north of Canada, in the province of Nunavut. The area of the park is 37 775.0 square kilometers, and, due to this scale, it is ranked among the largest parks in Canada. In fact, it is the second largest park within the country. However, Kuttinirpaak has another distinctive feature - it is the northernmost park in Canada.

The park is divided into several plots, the largest of which is on Ellesmere Island. In addition to land, the park also includes the waters of the Arctic Ocean along with the bays. In addition, the boundaries of Kuttinirpaak are delineated and very small islands near Ellesmere.

Translated from the language of the Inuit, who previously lived in the province of Nunavut, the name of the park "Kuttinirpaak" means "Top of the world".
