About the Community
Sanirajak formerly known as “Hall Beach” is the oldest known inhabited community north of the Arctic Circle, it was established in 1957 as a Distant Early Warning site line station site to help monitor Canadian air space in the Far North. Although the original system is no longer operational, there is now a more technologically advanced warning system site in the community.

There are many things to see in Sanirajak, such as walrus, whales, birds (jaegers, gyrfalcons, geese, ducks) and arctic birds (snowy owl and ptarmigan). Sanirajak is one of the few places in Canada where walrus hunting still takes place.
