Cambridge Bay is a hamlet located in the Kitikmeot Region of Nunavut, Canada. It is the largest stop for passenger and research vessels traversing the Arctic Ocean's Northwest Passage.
The area was a traditional hunting and fishing location and archaeological sites are often found. Barren-ground Caribou, muskox, Arctic char, lake trout and Ringed Seal were the primary, and remain important food sources. Situated east of Cambridge Bay is Ovayok Territorial Park, which includes the large esker known as Ovayok (Mount Pelly).
