The Qalupalik are a tribe of sea witches who lurk beneath the ice floes off the coast of Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada, and kidnap children who venture too close to the water.[1]
History
In modern times, the Qalupalik began kidnapping the inhabitants of Pangnirtung on Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada. Their humming could be heard off the coast of Baffin Island every sunset. Pangnirtung resident Snowguard trekked to Mount Thor to seek the assistance of the Tuurngait in defeating the Qalupalik. Returning to Pangnirtung, Snowguard and the Tuurngait apprehended one of the Qalupalik, which prompted the others to retreat.[1]
