Alukpaluk Bay

The waters of Ungava Bay reach deep into the northern coast of the Ungava Peninsula, opening northwards towards Hudson Strait. Along the bay's western shore, inlets cut into a cold and largely treeless coast. The ancestors of the Inuit reached Nunavik across the western end of Hudson Strait and spread along the shores of Ungava Bay and Hudson Bay. Seals, walrus and other marine animals provided food and materials for life on these northern coasts.
