Napaktok

Napaktok Bay cuts into the northern Labrador coast near the northern limit of its trees. Inuit families lived along the bay, where the remains of sod houses mark the sites of former settlements. Seals gather in its sheltered waters: harbour seals frequent Shark Gut Harbour and the west side of Finger Hill Island, while the inner bay offers places to hunt ringed seals at their breathing holes in the winter ice. Islands and narrow passages give the bay a sheltered, intricate shoreline.
