The Brodeur Peninsula is an uninhabited headland on Baffin Island in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada. It is located in the northwestern part of the island and is bounded by Prince Regent Inlet to the west, Lancaster Sound to the north, and Admiralty Inlet to the east. The peninsula is connected to the rest of Baffin Island by a narrow isthmus to the south.

Geography

The habitat is characterized by rocky shores and coastal cliffs, as well as barrens and rocky flats.

Fauna

Northwestern Brodeur Peninsula, 475 km2 in size, is a Canadian Important Bird Area (#NU065). It is home to the ivory gull, but researchers have been witnessing a dramatic decrease in breeding populations in the region in recent times. The western side of the Brodeur Peninsula is known as a polar bear mating ground.

Land use

Serious efforts are underway to find minerals in the area. Twin Mining owns a 1300000 acre, diamond property on the peninsula.
