Kivitoo is an abandoned Inuit community and a former whaling station[2] on the northeast shore of Baffin Island in Nunavut, Canada. Kivitoo's Inuit families moved to Qikiqtarjuaq, approximately 50 km (31 mi) to the south, in 1963.[3] Kivitoo Memorial Park remains at the southern shore of the hamlet.[4][failed verification]
