		Canada's second-largest National Park truly is on the ‘top of the world', as its Inuit name, Quttinirpaaq, suggests.
		Nine-month-long winters, complete with 24-hour darkness, frequent blizzards, -40ºC temperatures and little food mean that there are no year-round resident birds in Quttinirpaaq National Park.
		With continued observer efforts, including daily summer records of bird activity from late May to late August/early September at wildlife hotspots such as Lake Hazen and Tanquary Fiord, population trends for the birds of Quttinirpaaq National Park could be determined, and perhaps the known range of other bird species could refined.

		The Quttinirpaaq Park is visited every year by small numbers of researchers, Parks Canada staff, and cruise-ship passengers, but because of its isolation and sensitive environment, access to it is carefully controlled.
		Anderson noted that the park also meets the committee's expectations for unique natural phonemena, such as Lake Hazen, the northern-most lake in the world, and the Peary caribou, a tough yet endangered species which has migrated through the high arctic in desert conditions for centuries.
