Hiking
The Ovayok, also referred to as Uvayuk or Mount Pelly, is a formation known as an esker that was shaped by the latest ice age. An esker is a long, sometimes winding ridge composed of stratified sand and gravel, formed by meltwater streams flowing beneath or within glaciers, which leave behind these deposits as the ice retreats.
From its top you enjoy a stunning view of the surrounding, mostly flat, landscape dotted with hundreds of lakes. The area was inhabited by the Inuit for centuries for hunting. Over 120 archaeological sites have been found around Uvayuk.
