The réserve de parc national des Monts-de-Puvirnituq is a protected area located in the administrative region of Nord-du-Québec, in Quebec, in Canada. The territory is located northwest of Akulivik.
The Puvirnituq Mountains are a chain of parallel hills formed by the successive folding of the Earth's crust.
Fauna and flora
The national park reserve is one of few areas in Quebec where polar bears give birth to their young. It is also the only whistling swan nesting area in Quebec. The park is also frequented by a herd of caribou from the Rivière aux Feuilles.
Being more than north of the treeline, and having a growing season of only 70 days per year, vegetation is mostly shrub in the valleys, with the top of the hills dominated by mosses and lichen.
