It is one of the many incredible places in northern Labrador that invite the adventurous and the nature lover. The coast beyond Nain is even more remote and more spectacular than the populated area to the south. There are no permanent settlements here, although many localities are used for hunting, fishing, and recreation. It is home to abundant wildlife, including caribou and the occasional polar bear. This is the wildest scenery on the Atlantic coast of North America.
Fjords stretch in from the ocean, including one known as the Pearly Gates.
There are several mountain ranges, with the highest peaks rising 5,000 feet. In many places the steep mountain cliffs soar straight out of the surface of the Labrador Sea. While there is no scheduled coastal boat service to this region, it can be toured by small boat, plane, or helicopter. The Kiglapaits are about 40 miles north of the community, and are easily accessible by boat or aircraft. There is no other place on the Atlantic coast of North America that can compete with northernmost Labrador for unimaginable grandeur.
