| More than 7000 years ago, the area where Iqaluit Kuunga Territorial Park is today was covered by a glacier. In some places, the glacier was more than 400 metres thick! As the glacier moved, it carved the landscape. Today, the landscape is mostly low rocky hills and boulder fields. | |
| The Sylvia Grinnell River flows through this park and into Frobisher Bay. It was historically used for fishing Arctic char, which migrate up and down the river to spawn their young. For centuries, Inuit from the surrounding area have gone here to fish during the summer. It is still a very popular spot to fish. People come here throughout the year to collect fresh water. In winter and spring, people make a hole in the ice to collect the cold river water. | |
