- Location description
- Freshwater lake outside of Iqualuktuuttiaq (Cambridge Bay), Nunavut. The Inuinnaqtun name, Iqualuktuuttiaq, means "A rich fishing lake". The lake's bedrock in the region of the watershed is Cambrian limestone. Sea-run Arctic char are found there. They migrate every second year to the sea to feed intensively on abundant marine life during a period of several weeks in the summer when they travel from the ocean to span. Resident Char, Whitefish, Lake Trout, and Cisco are also found in the lake. There is a fishery downstream.
