Aupaluk Airport is located in northern Quebec Canada, and is the life blood to outside world.
Located 150 km north of Kuujjuaq and 80 km south of Kangirsuk, the village is perched on the lowest of a series of natural terraces about 45 metres above sea level. The surrounding landscape is flat and ideal for hiking. The village also offers a breathtaking view of the vast Ungava Bay beyond.
Unlike most Nunavik communities, Aupaluk did not develop in proximity to a trading post or mission. Its abundance of caribou, fish and marine mammals allowed the community to go about life in the manner of its forebears, without southern intervention. Then, in 1975, Inuit from other villages relocated to the area, building seasonal camps where their own ancestors had once hunted and gathered. A cooperative store was eventually opened in the early 1980s, which soon led to incorporation of the settlement, officially sanctioning the continuation of a traditional Inuit lifestyle.
