Pilattuaq (Inuktitut syllabics: ᐱᓚᑦᑐᐊᖅ[1]) formerly Scott Island[2] is an uninhabited island in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada. It is located in Baffin Bay, off the eastern coast of Baffin Island, in the middle of Scott Inlet, north of the confluence of Clark Fiord and Gibbs Fiord which embrace Qikiqtaaluk.

Another, much smaller Scott Island lies off the southwest coast of Baffin Island, near the mouth of Keltie Inlet.

Geography

The island's steep and rugged cliffs reach up to 365 m (1,198 ft) [above sea level.[3] It is approximately 11 km (6.8 mi) in length.

One of the most notable formations on the island is The Ship's Prow, a 600 m (2,000 ft) overhanging granite wall, first climbed by Mike Libecki in the spring of 1999.[4]

Fauna

Glaucous gull and northern fulmar frequent its cliffs and shoreline.[3]
