I will pay for the following article A Regional Overview of the Pond Inlet Area. The work is to be 6 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. The settlement overlooks the mountains and glaciers of Sirmilik National Park and acts as the gateway to Eclipse Sound. The beauty of the area has earned Pond Inlet the reputation as one of Canada’s “Jewels of the North”(Qikiqtani Inuit Association, 2007). The island gained its name in 1818 given by the explorer John Ross in recognition of the English astronomer John Pond(Greenwich England, 2000. Sawtell). It is now appropriate to consider the different facets of this fascinating and bewildering land.&nbsp.Physical and Biological Systems&nbsp. Although situated about 73o north, Pond Inlet is not under snow throughout the year, and during the summer months – with an average temperature of about 5o C – a variety of arctic vegetation is to be seen. The winters are cold – with mean temperatures some 30-40o C below zero – and with high winds increasing the chill factor (Qikiqtani Inuit Association, 2007).&nbsp.There is a wide abundance of wildlife in the region. land-based species include “caribou, arctic hares, wolves, arctic fox and lemmings” (Qikiqtani Inuit Association, 2007. Miller). Birds are in abundance and include: “geese, gyrfalcons, ptarmigans, ravens, and gulls (Pond Inlet), “fulmars, kittiwakes, murres, red-throated loons, sandpipers, jaegers and snow buntings” Qikiqtani Inuit Association, 2007. Miller). Arctic char are also keenly sought after by fishermen.&nbsp.“Marine mammals include ringed, harp, and bearded seals, belugas, narwhals…bowhead and killer whales [the former being much sought after by whalers since 1817. the first trading station for whaling was established in 1903 (Sawtell. Miller)].
