| The adjacent waters around Baffin Island and Bylot Island (Seen below in the distance) contain the richest proliferation of marine mammals in the eastern Arctic, including concentrations of Narwhal, Bowhead and Beluga whales.
The long horned unicorn of the sea is the most abundant of these, but there are also many Harp, Bearded and Ringed Seals along with wandering Polar Bears, Walrus and migratory birds enroute to their summer nesting grounds. All of Bylot Island has been declared a bird sanctuary because of the many species occurring there. |
