Sanikiluaq, the most southerly community of Nunavut, is located on the
Belcher Islands in the Hudson Bay.
The terrain is composed of many rocky cliffs that tower 50 to 155
meters above sea level. Many of these cliffs are nesting grounds for
eider ducks, whose feathers (eiderdown) are collected from nests and
made into duvets and outer-wear.
Sanikiluaq carvers are known worldwide for their distinctive carvings
made from argillite, the dark stone found on the Belcher Islands.
