Scalene Island is a small piece of land in the far north of Canada. It's one of many islands that make up the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. This island is special because no one lives there permanently. It's found in a large bay called Frobisher Bay, which is part of the Nunavut territory.
Where is Scalene Island?
Scalene Island is located off the coast of Baffin Island. Baffin Island is one of the biggest islands in Canada. Scalene Island sits in Frobisher Bay, which is a large inlet of the Atlantic Ocean. It's southeast of Iqaluit, which is the capital city of Nunavut.

Scalene Island is part of the Qikiqtaaluk Region in Nunavut. Nunavut is Canada's largest and newest territory. It's known for its cold climate and vast, open landscapes. Being in the Arctic means the island experiences very long, cold winters and short, cool summers.
