Clyde River, which is Kangiqtugaapik or “nice little inlet” to the Inuit, can
be found on the eastern shore of Baffin Island in the shelter of Patricia
Bay. It is located on a flood plain, surrounded by spectacular fiords that
stretch all the way into the Barnes Icecap. The mountains, icebergs and
glaciers in the Clyde River area attract rock and ice climbers from around
the world. There is also a multitude of animals to be seen, including
caribou, narwhals and other sea mammals. The Iqalirtuuq National
Wildlife Area, a protected bowhead whale sanctuary, is located in Patricia
Bay. The Clyde River Economic Development Society is a non-profit
organization of community members that oversee new development
projects for their community. The society has been paying special
attention to economic pursuits in the areas of tourism, community micro
businesses, arts and crafts, and export development. Potential exports
include halibut and shrimp, clams, seal and caribou meat.
