Barth Island is a small island located in the far north of Canada. It's a part of the Qikiqtaaluk Region in Nunavut, which is one of Canada's three territories. This island is special because no one lives there!
What is Barth Island?
Barth Island is an uninhabited island. This means that no people live on the island permanently. It's a wild place, mostly untouched by human activity. Many islands in the Canadian Arctic are uninhabited due to the very cold climate.
Where is Barth Island Located?
Barth Island is found in a body of water called Peel Sound. This sound is a channel that connects different parts of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. The island is located south of Somerset Island, near a place called Four Rivers Bay. Another small island, Otrick Island, is also nearby. To the west of Barth Island, you'll find the much larger Prince of Wales Island.
The island's exact location is in the Northern Canada region. This area is known for its icy waters and long, cold winters.
