Siorapaluk

Siorapaluk

Situated on the north coast of Robertson Fiord, only 1362 km from the North Pole, Siorapaluk, is the most northerly natural community in the World. Siorapaluk, which means “little Sands”, was named after the small sandy beach in front of the village. Robertson Fiord is famous for the millions of Little Auks that arrive each May to breed in the hills. Between March and June it is also possible to arrange trips by dog sled out into Robertson Fiord. The more adventurous can travel North to Etah which formerly was the most northerly Inughuit community but is now abandoned.
