Location of Saqvaqjuac in Nunavut
Saqvaqjuac was a 465 m2 Arctic research camp located on the north side of Chesterfield Inlet, Kivalliq Region, Nunavut, Canada, 35 kilometres (22 mi) north-northwest of the hamlet of Igluligaarjuk (Chesterfield Inlet).[1] It was opened in 1977, operated every year until 1982, and last used in 1988. The name is attributed to the fast-moving water connecting the inlet with Hudson Bay (saqvaq meaning "fast water or rapids" and juac meaning "big" or "large").[2]
