Kuunajuk formerly Ellice River,[1] for Edward Ellice, Jr., is a waterway in the Kitikmeot Region of Nunavut, Canada. It rises close to the Back River between Lake Beechey and Pelly Lake,[2] and flows northward into the Queen Maud Gulf. Its mouth opens between Campbell Bay and Gernon Bay.[3] The land between the river and Sherman Inlet is generally flat and marshy.[4] Muskox and barren-ground caribou frequent the area.[5]

Fauna

The river is home to Arctic char.[6] Large populations of the American brant goose nest on coastal islands at the river's mouth.[4]
