Pitsiulartok or Pituilaktok (formerly: Fairway Island),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Renaming the North )〕 is a small, uninhabited island located at 63°15'N, 90°33'W in Hudson Bay, about 13 km〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Geographic features & Photographs around Chesterfield Inlet, in Nunavut, Canada )〕 from the community of Chesterfield Inlet, Nunavut, Canada. The narrow island is about 3.5 km in length and barely 1 km wide at its widest point. Traditionally it was a walrus-hunting ground for the local Inuit,〔 and a landmark for southern whalers. It is part of a loose chain of small islands running along the coast, including Sakpik Island and Promise Island. The name "Pituilaktok" comes from the Inuktitut name for a local bird known in English as the black guillemot (''cepphus grylle''), "pitiula".
