This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Pond Inlet, Nunavut. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Canada Base Map from Natural Resources Canada with Toporama contours layered over it — the CanVec topographic data behind the printed NTS sheets, and the mapping used for hiking, hunting, canoe routes and back-country travel. Relief shows shaded relief and hypsometric tints. The search box finds any Canadian town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Pond Inlet.
Reading the map like a paper NTS sheet. Click Grid to overlay the UTM grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass — which matters in Canada, where declination runs from about 20 degrees west in Newfoundland to 20 degrees east in the Yukon.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what Canadian search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Pond Inlet is a hamlet in Nunavut, Canada. It is classified as a major city. Pond Inlet is located at 72.7000°N, 77.9611°W.
Pond Inlet rests upon the stark, majestic edge of the Arctic coast, where the land meets the sea in a quiet display of northern solitude. It lies 218.9 km east of Nanisivik, NU (from Nanisivik, NU: bearing 97°T), and is situated 10.5 km west-south-west of Nutarasungniq. The horizon here is vast and stripped of pretense, defined by the rugged character of the Itirrallu and the cold, clear brilliance of the high latitude light. Nearby, the Salmon River carves its path toward the sea about 5 km away, while the terrain holds the presence of Nuktirliarjulik just 7 km from the settlement’s core. In the distance, the Sermilik Glacier looms roughly 25 km away, a frozen sentinel that anchors the visual weight of the horizon under the endless sky. The history of Pond Inlet reflects a long, enduring relationship between the Inuit and the unforgiving, beautiful geography of the high Arctic. For generations, families moved across the ice and tundra, following the seasonal patterns of wildlife and the shifting needs of survival in a climate that demands profound respect. As permanent structures eventually took root, Pond Inlet grew from a scattering of seasonal camps into a vital hub for the region, serving as a point of exchange and connection for those navigating the northern passages. The settlement evolved through the careful balance of traditional knowledge and the gradual arrival of modern infrastructure, ensuring that the legacy of those who first called this coast home remains vital. Pond Inlet functions as a northern center of commerce and regional administration, where the local economy finds its strength in the resilience of its people. Employment often centers on public services, the management of regional resources, and the essential tasks required to maintain daily life in such a remote environment. The surrounding lands and waters provide a source of sustenance and tradition that supplements the modern economy, with many residents engaged in harvesting practices that have persisted for centuries. By serving as a gateway to the northern reaches, Pond Inlet supports a steady flow of activity that sustains the local population while fostering a sense of independence and self-reliance. Culture in Pond Inlet is a living expression of Inuit heritage, deeply rooted in the stories, language, and artistic expressions that define the spirit of the North. Daily life moves with the changing light, from the long, dark winters where stars shimmer with piercing intensity to the summer months when the sun lingers stubbornly above the horizon. The people of Pond Inlet maintain a strong connection to their origins, often sharing oral histories that illuminate the deep bond between the inhabitants and the land. While the settlement does not house universities or colleges, it remains a place of continuous learning, where the wisdom of elders is passed to the youth, ensuring that the distinct identity of the region endures with clarity and pride.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
