Cape Dorset, Nunavut

In the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, surrounded by the hilly tundra of the Kinngait Mountains, Cape Dorset lies on Dorset Island south east of Foxe Peninsula on Baffin Island. Likely to have been inhabited for several millennia by the Inuits, its oldest signs of occupation date back to around 2400 BC and were found in Cape Dorset. What makes it unique is its large community of craftspeople and artists.
