Part of the Arctic Archipelago
An archipelago is a group or chain of islands. The Canadian Arctic Archipelago is one of the largest in the world. It includes many islands, big and small. The Leybourne Islands are just one small part of this huge area. They are located in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut. This region covers a very large area of the Arctic.
Uninhabited Islands
The Leybourne Islands are known as "uninhabited." This means that no people live on them permanently. Many islands in the far north are uninhabited. This is because of the very cold climate. The remote location also makes it hard for people to live there.
