The northernmost community of Canada, Grise Fiord is located in the
High Arctic on Ellesmere Island.
Picturesque and remote, it is surrounded by high hills and, for most of
the year, sea ice. In fact, the Inuktitut name for Grise Fiord is Aujuittuq,
“the place that never thaws out.”
Visitors come to Grise Fiord to witness its spectacular beauty and wildlife.
It is also a stopover for researchers traveling either to Ellesmere Island
or to the famed “Ancient Forest” on Axel Heiberg Island.
