Select a lake ice monitoring area

Using Earth Observation satellites, real time weather data, and local environmental knowledge, ice conditions for several key lakes near the communities of Kangiqusualujjuaq and Kangirsuk are reported through this portal.

Information on freeze-up, ice presence and ice break-up are available and are supported by additional information, such as weather and real time ice thickness. The Lake Ice Service also features a comment log where community members can enter information about lake ice, travel to the lakes and hunting/fishing conditions.

Please select the desired study area, using the map (left) to obtain additional details on the specific lake of interest.
