Qamanirjuaq Lake formerly Kaminuriak Lake,[3] pronunciation: ka-min-YOO-ree-ak; meaning: "huge lake adjoining a river at both ends",[4] is a lake in the Kivalliq Region, Nunavut, Canada. It is the first of several named lakes on the eastward flow of the Ferguson River through the eastern barrenlands. The lake is located about 2 km (1 mi) downstream from Ferguson Lake, and adjacent upstream to Parker Lake South. The Ferguson River passes through a series of rapids before entering the western arm of Qamanirjuaq Lake.
