Torngat Mountains National Park

June, 2014

Torngat is named from the Inuktitut word Torngait, meaning “place of spirits,” and the area has been home to Inuit and their predecessors for thousands of years.

The mountain peaks found here, along the border with Quebec, are the highest in mainland Canada east of the Rockies, and are dotted with remnant glaciers and hundreds of archaeological sites in the park, some dating back almost 7,000 years.
