Sirmilik National Park and Tallurutiup Imanga

Sirmilik National Park and Lancaster Sound (proposed) National Marine Conservation Area is an exceptional representation of the diverse high Arctic coastal ecosystem, It illustrates the outstanding cultural heritage of Paleo-Eskimo, Thule, Inuit and European peoples over the last three thousand years and exhibits a living culture that is integral to the surrounding marine environment. It is a vast land-, sea-, and ice-scape of glaciers, wetlands, coastal, marine, and freshwater environments and an outstanding example of land-, sea-, and ice-use which is representative of Inuit culture and Inuit interaction with the Arctic environment as it becomes vulnerable under the impact of climate change.
