"The Hamlet Of Baker Lake", (Inuktitut syllabics: ᖃᒪᓂᑦᑐᐊᖅ - 'big lake joined by a river at both ends', Inuktitut: Qamani'tuaq - 'where the river widens') is a hamlet in the Kivalliq Region, in Nunavut, on mainland Canada. Located on the shore of the namesake Baker Lake, it is notable for being Nunavut's only inland community. The area was the traditional summer hunting and fishing grounds for the Inuit. In 1762, the lake was explored by Captain Christopher of the Hudson’s Bay Company, who sailed up Chesterfield Inlet. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police had been in the area for fifteen years before establishing a post at Baker Lake, in 1930. Baker Lake features a subarctic climate, (Köppen climate classification: Dfc), bordering closely on a tundra climate, with short, cool summers and long, extremely cold winters. Winters run from October/November, until April/May, with temperatures averaging between −21 and −25 °C (−6 and −13 °F). In contrast to Fairbanks, Alaska on a similar parallel, May is a sub-freezing month and June is chilly, considering the long hours of daylight. Summers are usually cool, short and rainy, but, can be hot and sometimes humid, with a record high of 33.6 °C (92.5 °F). Baker Lake is host to a variety of wildlife including caribou, muskox, Arctic hares, wolves, sik-siks, wolverines, geese and lake trout, among others. In the 2021 Canadian census Baker Lake had a population of 2,061m living in 577 of its 661 total private dwellings.
