About Ulvingen Island
Ulvingen Island is part of a huge group of islands in the Arctic. It's one of the many islands that make up the Sverdrup Islands, the Queen Elizabeth Islands, and the larger Canadian Arctic Archipelago.
Where is Ulvingen Island?
This island is located in a body of water called Norwegian Bay. You can find it nestled between two much larger islands: Axel Heiberg Island and Ellesmere Island. Specifically, it's near a part of Ellesmere Island known as Raanes Peninsula.
What is Ulvingen Island like?
Ulvingen Island covers an area of about 87 square kilometers (which is about 34 square miles). It's a quiet, remote place because of its location in the Arctic. The very southern tip of the island has a specific spot called Hare Point. Since it's uninhabited, it means there are no towns, villages, or permanent residents living there. The harsh Arctic climate makes it a challenging place for people to live.
