Inuktitut for “land at the top of the world”, Quttinirpaaq is Canada’s northernmost national park. Its sprawling tundra is enriched by jagged black peaks and massive glaciers. Herds of muskoxen and Peary caribou roam this vast landscape where archaeological sites date back thousands of years. Quttinirpaaq, "terre au sommet du monde" en inuktitut, est le parc national le plus au nord du Canada. Sa toundra tentaculaire est enrichie de pics noirs déchiquetés et de glaciers massifs. Des bœufs musqués et des caribous de Peary parcourent ce vaste paysage aux sites archéologiques millénaires. Source: Parks Canada Website (2022)
