Visiting
Tartupaluk
Tartupaluk
is one of the most remote islands in the world, and it
sits in the middle of one of the world's most inhospitable
environments. Visiting Tartupaluk is complex and
expensive. It is also potentially a very dangerous
proposition. The entire legal permanent population is
prevented from staying in Tartupaluk continuously due to its
remoteness and harsh weather conditions. Currently,
accommodation and supplies on the island are severely
limited. Even so, visits to Tartupaluk can still be
arranged.
Article 6 of our
Charter of Rights and Freedoms
guarantees every person on Tartupaluk access to safe and
effective shelter and sufficient supplies of drinking
water and food. In order to ensure that our government can
meet these obligations, it is necessary at this time for
any person who is not a Tartupalummiut national and plans
to visit the island to register with the Office of the
Greffier and apply for a Visitor's Permit from one of
Tartupaluk's representation offices abroad at least three
months before the date of their expected arrival in
Tartupaluk.
Personnel traveling to Tartupaluk for scientific research
or economic, social, or cultural development purposes may
qualify for government assistance for their projects.

Office of the Greffier by e-mail at
