Dolphin and Union Strait

This is partly why the first Europeans who ventured into this area, were amazed by the "blond" Inuit they had encountered.

When frozen, it is used by barren-ground caribou, known as the Dolphin and Union herd, to reach Victoria Island for the summer and to return to the mainland for the winter.

Conversely, eider ducks are called kingalik which means, simply, "big-nose".

There is also a preponderance of new species from flies to wasps, and new birds arriving that have never been seen before; grizzly bears roam where they were once that most rare curiosity.
