Pangnirtung Fiord is a remote saltwater fjord on Baffin Island, Nunavut, and serves as the northern gateway to Auyuittuq National Park. The fiord's character is defined by its dramatic, mountainous landscape, including features like Mount Overlord and Tirokwa Peak. Glaciers are present along its flanks, such as the one below the northwest flank of Mount Odin. The mouth of the Weasel River is located at the fiord's southern entrance to the park. Access for paddlers is primarily via the community of Pangnirtung, with trails leading to the area, including one 5.2-mile route with significant elevation gain. The paddling experience here is one of profound remoteness and scale, suitable only for experienced, self-sufficient expeditions prepared for Arctic conditions. The water is cold year-round, with sea ice typically preventing access outside of the brief summer season. There are no developed facilities or amenities for paddlers along the fiord itself; all logistics, including launch points, must be arranged from Pangnirtung. The area is within a national park, so paddlers must obtain the necessary permits and adhere to all park regulations for travel and camping.
