Kivitoo

Kivitoo is an abandoned Inuit community and a former whaling station[2] on the northeast shore of Baffin Island in Nunavut, Canada.

Kivitoo's Inuit families moved to Qikiqtarjuaq, approximately 50 km (31 mi) to the south, in 1963.

[4][failed verification] In the early 20th century, the Sabellum Trading Company established a post at Kivitoo to service the whalers who would anchor there to flense carcasses.

Because of a nearby small coastal plain, a short airstrip was built during early operation of FOX-D.[2] The residents of Kivitoo were evacuated to Qikiqtarjuaq in the 1963, purportedly for their safety, after three residents of the community were killed in a collapse of the ice under their igloos.

[6] However, the town was never resettled afterward, as the remaining structures in the community had been demolished by authorities by the time residents tried to return.
