Pond Inlet (Inuktitut: "Mittimatalik", is a small, predominantly, Inuit community in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada, located, on northern Baffin Island. To the Inuit people, the name of the place "is and always has been, Mittimatalik". The Scottish explorer Sir John Ross had named an arm of the sea, that separates Bylot Island from Baffin Island, as Pond's Bay and the hamlet now shares that name. On August 29th 1921, the Hudson's Bay Company opened its trading post, near the Inuit camp and named it Pond Inlet, marking the expansion of its trading empire into the High Arctic. The first white settlers to the community moved the name over to the hamlet’s present location, but, the Inuktitut name for this site has long been 'Mittimatalik', meaning: “the place where the landing place is”, (referring to a large rock, on which seagulls used to alight and from which they used, to fish from.) An earlier encampment called 'Igarjuaq' was situated on the southern shore and at the eastern end of Eclipse Sound. The name, meaning: “the big fireplace”, came from the appearance of the site, as Mt. Herodier and the deep valley to the east suggest to the imagination, a gigantic fireplace, especially when, as happens occasionally, a patch of mist drifts out of the valley, or, swirls about the top of Mt. Herodier, like a cloud of smoke.
