Description
The village is located on the east coast of Hudson Bay and 15 km north of the Gulf of Richmond (Lac Guillaume-Delisle), a huge inland bay connected to Hudson Bay by a rocky canyon-like ravine. Opposite the village are the elongated islands of Nastapoka, which stretch over 475 km, forming a popular coastal barrier for birds. Many bird species, such as common loons, eiders and peregrine falcons, find refuge here in summer. This protected marine environment is characterized by the sporadic presence of black spruce and larch, dominant shrub tundra, discontinuous permafrost (peat palsas) and thermokarst lakes.
