The **Soper River** ([Inuktitut](/source/Inuktitut): ***Kuujuaq***,[*[pronunciation?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Pronunciation)*] meaning "the great river") ([62°54′N 69°51′W / 62.9°N 69.85°W / 62.9; -69.85 (Soper River)](https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Soper_River&params=62.9_N_69.85_W_type:waterbody_region:CA-NU&title=Soper+River)) is a waterway on [Baffin Island](/source/Baffin_Island), [Nunavut](/source/Nunavut). The river flows over 100 km (62 mi) and then empties into [Soper Lake](/source/Soper_Lake) and [Pleasant Inlet](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pleasant_Inlet&action=edit&redlink=1).

## Research
