Qajartalik Archaeological Site
Qajartalik is a petroglyph site located on Qikertaaluk Island, Nunavut, Canada. The location contains several soapstone carvings of faces. It was made by the Dorset people, a culture that lived in the Canadian eastern Arctic and Greenland beginning around 2200 years ago and disappeared around 1000 years ago before the arrival of the Thule Inuit, who arrived around 800 years ago. The site is thought to be the northernmost rock art site in North America and is one of a kind.
The site is included on the UNESCO Tentative List under the official name, Qajartalik.Elevation: 18 m
