Why go
The park shows several sides of the eastern Arctic within one protected area: Bylot Island's icefields and coastal lowlands, the Borden Peninsula's plateaus and valleys, and Oliver Sound's steep fjord walls. Decide which landscape matters most before arranging an outing from the region.
What to look for
- Bylot Island combines mountains and icefields with coastal lowlands.
- Oliver Sound is a narrow fjord edged by cliffs and glaciers.
- Eroded hoodoos appear on Bylot Island and the Borden Peninsula.
Useful to know
- Treat the three parts as separate destinations; a visit to one does not cover the others.
- Check current Parks Canada access and safety guidance before planning travel in this remote Arctic park.
