Hall Beach, Nunavut
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hall Beach (Inuktitut: Sanirajak, Syllabics: ᓴᓂᕋᔭᒃ) is an Inuit settlement, Qikiqtaaluk Region 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, about 69 km as the crow flies, a rarity in this vast territory.
