It is 513 km North of Iqaluit witch puts it approximately 100 km North of the Arctic Circle. Pangnirtung, the closest community , is 225 km South via Pangnirtung Pass in Auyuittuq National Park.<br /><br />Qikiqtarjuaq became a settlement site in 1956-57.Inuit families moved here from Pangnirtung and Clyde River and abandoned Kivitoo to help build the DEW Line Station. A federal administrative office opened in 1958 and the Hudson’s Bay the Anglican Mission was estblshed in 1967. Katiqsivik Gospel Church started in 1968. The permanence of Qikiqtarjuaq was assured in 1968 when DIAND closed down the small settlement of Padlopinng Island brining its people to this community. Qikiqtajuaq attained hamlet status on August 31, 1979.<br /><br />Qikiqtarjuaq is a terrific base for sightseeing up and down the coastline of Davis Strait.
