Kangiqtualuk Uqquqti (Inuktitut syllabics: ᑲᖏᖅᑐᐊᓗᒃ ᐅᖅᑯᖅᑎ[1]) formerly Sam Ford Fiord[2] is an isolated, elongated Arctic fjord on Baffin Island's northeastern coast in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada.[3] The Inuit settlement of Pond Inlet is 320 km (200 mi) to the northwest and Clyde River is 80 km (50 mi) to the east.
This fjord is reputed for the harsh beauty of its landscapes with rocky cliffs rising steeply from the shore.[4] It is also a popular place with climbers.[5]
