Baie Qarlituranga is a remote coastal bay in the Kativik region of Nunavik, Canada, situated within the Kuururjuaq National Park. The bay is located on the eastern shore of Ungava Bay, near the community of Kangiqsualujjuaq, which is approximately 15 kilometers away and serves as the primary access point for the region via daily flights with Air Inuit. The area is characterized by its raw, untamed Arctic environment. A significant and critical safety consideration for any paddler is the confirmed presence of polar bears along this coastline, specifically abundant in Baie Qarlituranga and the nearby Anse Tasiujakuluk. Due to this extreme hazard, visitors, including paddlers, are required to be accompanied by armed Inuit guides. The climate is capricious and deadly even in summer, with sudden, severe weather changes posing a constant risk. The bay experiences significant tidal fluctuations, with a recorded low tide height of -0.35 meters below chart datum, indicating a substantial tidal range. The water body is directly exposed to the open waters of Ungava Bay, leading to potentially high wind exposure and significant fetch. The cultural context is deeply Inuk, with the local community of Kangiqsualujjuaq being an authentic Inuit settlement, and the area holds cultural legends like that of Annanack. There are no specific paddler facilities, launches, or designated routes; access and logistics would be complex expeditions requiring local guiding expertise. The overall character is one of a profound wilderness expedition for highly experienced and prepared paddlers operating under strict safety protocols.
