Coffin Island is a small, quiet island located in the far north of Canada. It's one of many islands in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, a huge group of islands in the Arctic Ocean. This island is found in Nunavut, a large territory in Canada.
You can find Coffin Island specifically in Frobisher Bay, which is a large inlet of the Atlantic Ocean. It's southeast of Iqaluit, the capital city of Nunavut. Coffin Island is part of the Qikiqtaaluk Region, which is the largest and northernmost region in Nunavut.
Where is Coffin Island Located?
Coffin Island is an offshore island of Baffin Island, which is the largest island in Canada. Being in Frobisher Bay means it's surrounded by cold Arctic waters. The island itself is uninhabited, meaning no people live there permanently.
