Torngat Mountains

Torngat Mountains National Park, established in 2005, protects 9,700 square kilometres of spectacular Arctic wilderness in northern Labrador. The park encompasses Canada's highest peaks east of the Rockies, dramatic fjords, polar bear habitat, and landscapes that have been home to Inuit for thousands of years. The name 'Torngat' comes from the Inuktitut word 'Tongait,' meaning 'place of spirits,' reflecting the deep spiritual significance of these mountains to Inuit. The park is co-managed by Parks Canada and Inuit through the Nunatsiavut Government, ensuring Indigenous knowledge and values guide its stewardship.
