The Qallupilluit is a creature from Inuit folklore that is said to live in the freezing arctic waters and await foolish children who come too close to the shore or step on thin ice. They snatch children while they are alone and stuff them into their amautik before descending into the waters never to be seen again.
Sometimes, they can be heard knocking on the ice below your feet. Maybe testing its strength or maybe just reminding us that there is more in the icy depths than we know...
