Kangiqhuk,[1] formerly West Arm,[2] is a fiord on the southeast coast of Victoria Island in Canada. The fiord is short, about 5 km (3.1 mi), and flows into Cambridge Bay and then to Dease Strait and Queen Maud Gulf. The hamlet of Cambridge Bay is located close to the fiord and Cambridge Bay Airport is situated on the north side of the arm.
