Qikiqtaaluk Region
Qikiqtaaluk Region, Qikiqtani Region ((イヌクティトゥット語:ᕿᑭᖅᑖᓗᒃ) ) or Baffin Region is an administrative region of Nunavut, Canada. Qikiqtaaluk is the traditional Inuktitut name for Baffin Island. Although Qikiqtaaluk Region is the most commonly used name in official contexts, several notable public organisations, including Statistics Canada〔(2006 Canada Census )〕 and Nunavut Tourism〔(Nunavut Tourism – Baffin Region )〕 prefer the term Baffin Region.
The region consists of Baffin Island, the Belcher Islands, Akimiski Island, Mansel Island, Prince Charles Island, Bylot Island, Devon Island, Cornwallis Island, Bathurst Island, Amund Ringnes Island, Ellef Ringnes Island, Axel Heiberg Island, Ellesmere Island, the Melville Peninsula, the eastern part of Melville Island, and the northern parts of Prince of Wales Island, and Somerset Island, plus smaller islands in between. The regional seat is Iqaluit (population 7,250). The Qikiqtaaluk Region spans to the northernmost, easternmost, and southernmost areas of Nunavut.
Before 1999, Qikiqtaaluk Region existed under slightly different boundaries as the Baffin Region, District of Keewatin, Northwest Territories.
Canada claims Hans Island as part of Qikiqtaaluk, while Denmark considers it to be part of the Greenlandic municipality of Qaasuitsup.
