Hall Beach, Nunavut

Hall Beach 1997

Hall Beach (Inuktitut: Sanirajak, Syllabics: ᓴᓂᕋᔭᒃ) is an Inuit settlement in Nunavut, Canada, established in 1957 during the construction of a Distant Early Warning (DEW) site. Currently the settlement is home to a North Warning System radar facility and the Hall Beach Airport.

It is actually fairly close to another Nunavut settlement, Igloolik, a rarity in this vast territory.
