park ( iqaluittut : auduqiguq Auyuittuq IPA: [aujuitːuq] , «земля, которая никогда не тает») - это национальный парк , расположенный на острове Баффин на полуострове Камберленд , в регионе Цикикталук в Нунавуте , крупнейшем политическом подразделе Канады. Парк был первоначально известен как Национальный парк острова Баффин , когда он был основан в 1972 году, но название было изменено в 1976 году на его нынешнее название, чтобы лучше отразить регион и его историю. В нем представлено много территории арктической дикой природы, такие как фьорды , ледники и ледяные поля . Хотя Auyuittuq был основан в 1972 году как резерв национального парка , он был обновлен до полного национального парка в 2000 году.

History
[edit]First established in 1972 as Baffin Island National Park, in 1975, Parks Canada chose to rename the park in order to better reflect the landscape and the Inuit history within the region. After some debate, the name was changed to Auyuittuq National Park, which is an Inuktitut word meaning "the place that does not melt".[3]
Flora and fauna
[edit]Little vegetation can be found in Auyuittuq Park, although the plants found there range from flowers such as mountain avens, campion, Papaver, and saxifrage to shrubs like dwarf birch, Arctic willow, and heather. Many of the plants in Auyuittuq Park grow in clumps to create their own warmer "microclimate" to survive the harsh Arctic conditions.
Because of the exceptionally low vegetation supply on land, wildlife is very scarce. However, the park is bordered on three sides by sea and marine life is found within the park's boundaries.[3] Species that live in Auyuittuq Park include lemmings (both the North American brown lemming and the northern collared lemming), red foxes, snowy owls, peregrine falcons, ermines, rough-legged hawks, gyrfalcons, beluga whales, snow geese, polar bears, wolves, narwhals, Canada geese, Arctic foxes, Arctic hares, and some barren-ground caribou.
Activities
[edit]The most common backpacking route in the park is known as Akshayuk Pass, and follows the Weasel and Owl rivers via Summit Lake.[5] In 2008, heavy rain and warm weather caused Summit Lake to burst through its banks, flooding the Weasel River and washing away the Windy Lake bridge. As a result, the hiking routes in the pass are limited to either side of the Weasel River.[citation needed]
