The Husky Lakes, known locally as Imaryuk, are a vast and unique chain of five brackish estuarine basins in the Northwest Territories' Inuvialuit Settlement Region. This system drains northeast through a fault zone into Liverpool Bay and the Beaufort Sea, creating a critical transition zone between freshwater and saltwater. With a surface area of 1,933 square kilometers and an average depth of 13 meters, reaching a maximum of 100 meters, the lakes offer a complex aquatic environment north of the tree line, surrounded by Arctic tundra. The area holds profound cultural and subsistence importance for the Inuvialuit of Tuktoyaktuk and Inuvik, serving as a traditional harvesting ground. The landscape is characterized by narrow peninsulas, or "fingers," and inundated tunnel valleys that shape the shoreline and underwater structure.
