West Inlet is a coastal feature located on the southwest sides of Dorset Island and Mallik Island in Nunavut, Canada, within the Hudson Strait region. It is situated near Cape Dorset Harbour. The inlet is characterized by a rugged, rocky coastline with coastal cliffs. The area supports nesting seabird colonies, including Glaucous Gulls, which have been observed nesting in small groups on the coastal cliffs along West Inlet, as well as American Herring Gulls. The surrounding geography includes other nearby features such as Tellik Inlet on the northeast side of Mallik Island. The water body is in a remote Arctic environment, implying significant exposure to open water conditions, strong winds, and substantial tidal currents typical of the Hudson Strait. Paddlers must be prepared for cold water temperatures year-round, with sea ice likely rendering the inlet inaccessible outside of the brief summer season. No specific access points, facilities, or amenities for paddlers are detailed.
