Nearby Islands
Eden Island is not alone in Frobisher Bay. It has several island neighbors close by. These include Daniel Island, Falk Island, Fletcher Island, Redan Island, and Scalene Island. All of these islands are also part of the Baffin Island area.
What Does "Uninhabited" Mean?
When an island is described as "uninhabited," it means that no people live there permanently. Eden Island is one of many such islands in the Canadian Arctic. These islands are often very cold and remote, making them difficult places for people to live year-round.
