Canadian Arctic Archipelago

The Canadian Arctic Archipelago is a group of over 100 islands located north of mainland Canada in the Arctic Ocean. It includes large islands like Baffin Island, Victoria Island, and Ellesmere Island. The region is characterized by cold temperatures, ice-covered waters, polar bears, and unique Arctic wildlife. It is important for its indigenous communities and natural resources. The archipelago plays a significant role in Canada's climate, geography, and sovereignty, acting as a key part of the nation's northern identity and strategic interests. Its environment is sensitive and affected by climate change, with melting ice impacting ecosystems and navigation.
