Another of the attractions in the area is the Niginganiq / Isabella Bay bowhead whale sanctuary. Created in 2008, the people of Clyde River have been working towards it for decades. In the summer, more than 100 bowheads gather in the bay, one of the largest concentrations of bowheads in the world. With a population of about 800 people, it is one of Nunavut's smaller communities. The Hudson's Bay Company founded a trading post in the area in the 1920s. The U.S. Coast Guard also operated a weather station there during World War Two.
