Kudlik or qulliq (Inuktitut: ᖁᓪᓕᖅ, IPA: [qulːiq]) is a type of oil lamp used by the Inuit. The lamp consists of a crescent-shaped cup of carved soapstone, filled with oil from blubber or seal.[1] Arctic cottongrass, common cottongrass, or moss[2] is used as a wick.
The Inuit use the kudlik for illuminating and heating their tents and igloos, for melting snow, cooking, and drying their clothes. It is also used for ceremonial purposes.
A qulliq is featured on the coat of arms of Nunavut.
