À l’extrémité nord de la côte du Labrador se trouve une chaîne de hautes montagnes arides aux précipices abrupts qui s’enfonce dans les terres depuis la mer et que les Inuits d’autrefois considéraient comme la demeure de l’esprit suprême de leur mythologie. Le nom qu’ils donnaient à cette région, Torngait, signifie « lieu habité par les esprits » et s’explique par la présence de Torngarsoak, qu’ils croyaient maîtriser la vie des animaux marins et qu’ils représentaient sous la forme d’un ours polaire gigantesque. (Citation est tirée de GSC Memoir 91 : The Labrador Eskimo d’Ernest W. Hawkes, anthropologue qui a visité le Labrador en 1914 dans le cadre d’une expédition de la Commission géologique du Canada.)
