Auyuittuq National Park

Auyuittuq National Park is a vast Arctic protected area situated on the Cumberland Peninsula of Baffin Island in Nunavut, Canada. The park encompasses approximately 21,470 square kilometres of rugged polar landscape, making it one of the largest national parks in Canada. Its name derives from the Inuktitut language, meaning "the land that never melts," a reference to the enduring ice and snow that characterize this remote northern wilderness. The park was originally established in 1972 as Baffin Island National Park and was renamed to Auyuittuq in 1976 to better reflect the region's Inuit heritage and landscape character. It achieved full national park status in 2000 after being designated as a national park reserve for nearly three decades. The park features dramatic mountainous terrain, extensive glacial systems, deep coastal fjords, and the expansive Penny Ice Cap, creating a stark yet beautiful representation of Arctic geography.

Distance methodology

Geographic measurements, not driving distances

How nearby park distances are calculated

Distances use park boundaries whenever the available geometry allows it. When one or both boundaries are missing, the mapped park locations provide a clearly labelled estimate. Every value represents straight-line geographic separation and does not use roads or routing.

Boundary distance

Calculated between the nearest points of both park boundaries.

Location-to-boundary estimate

Estimated from one mapped park location to the nearest boundary of the other park.

Mapped-location estimate

Estimated between the mapped locations of both parks.
