• Arctic-Specific Coastal Data: Detailed elevations and coastal configurations of the Nunavut shoreline to assist in visual and radar pilotage.

• Hazard Identification: Clearly marks underwater pinnacles and shoals that characterize the transition from Farther Hope Point toward Terror Point.

• Aids to Navigation: Includes the most recent locations for all official beacons and markers essential for safe passage in varying light conditions.

Essential for Northern Shipping & Research

With the growth of commercial shipping to Baker Lake and increasing interest in Arctic resource development, the role of Chart 5623 is more vital than ever. Whether you are a captain of a northern resupply vessel or an expedition mariner, this chart provides the "ground-truth" data necessary for safe and efficient port-to-port navigation.
