Arctic Archipelago

The Arctic Archipelago is a group of more than 100 islands located in the northern part of Canada within the Arctic Circle. These islands vary greatly in size, from large landmasses like Baffin Island to smaller islets. The region is characterized by cold temperatures, ice-covered seas, and unique wildlife such as polar bears and seals. It holds significant ecological, cultural, and geopolitical importance, serving as a habitat for indigenous peoples and as a potential route for shipping due to melting ice. The archipelago plays a vital role in climate studies and Arctic ecosystems.
