Falk Island is a small, uninhabited island located in the cold waters of Frobisher Bay. It is part of the vast Canadian Arctic Archipelago, a huge group of islands in northern Canada. This island is found in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada's largest and northernmost territory.
Where is Falk Island?
Falk Island is situated southeast of Iqaluit, which is the capital city of Nunavut. It's considered part of Baffin Island, one of the largest islands in the world. Being "uninhabited" means that no people live on Falk Island permanently.
Part of the Arctic
Falk Island is a true Arctic island. This means it experiences very cold temperatures, long winters, and short, cool summers. The landscape is often rocky and covered in tundra, which is a type of land where the ground is frozen for most of the year.
Nearby Islands
Falk Island is not alone in Frobisher Bay. It has several island neighbors close by. These include Brook Island, Brigus Island, Fletcher Island, Gay Island, and Smith Island. These islands, like Falk Island, are also part of the rugged and beautiful Arctic environment.
