Baffin Island

Baffin Island, in the Canadian territory of Nunavut, is the largest island in Canada and the fifth largest island in the world. It is one of the last great wilderness regions on the planet. Two of Canada’s largest national parks are on Baffin Island – Auyuittuq National Park (“the land that never melts”) and Sirmilik National Park (“place of glaciers”. Vast stretches of tundra, dramatic mountain ranges and remote Inuit villages. The history of early exploration is ever present with the former Hudson's Bay Company locations and Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) outposts. The Islands is also a good place for Arctic wildlife, including Polar bears.
