Cape Graham Moore (72.867°N x 76.067°W) is on the southeastern tip of Bylot Island. Most of Bylot Island is part of Sirmilik National Park.
Approximately 100 000 Brünnich’s guillemot nests there alongside about 50,000 black-legged kittiwakes and a small number of glaucous gulls. In recent years, as part of an environmental impact assessment for Baffinland Iron Mines whose ships pass by the colony, researchers have visited Cape Graham Moore in 2014 and 2016.
