Tanquary Fiord is located just under 82 degrees north latitude, within the new Ellesmere National Park Reserve, which occupies the northern-most end of Ellesmere Island. The "entrance" to the park is at Tanquary Fiord, one of the few spots where a Twin Otter can land. The fiord cuts deeply into the island and exhibits the traditional glaciated valley shape. With no trees to block the view, it is often possible to look back and see where you were three days ago. Your sense of distance is completely foiled by the landscape.
