Kanadski Arktički arhipelag

Kanadski Arktički arhipelag, poznat i kao Arktički arhipelag, je arhipelag (grupa ostrva) sjeverno od glavne mase kanadskog kopna u Arktiku.[4]

Površina arhipelaga je oko 1.424.500 km²[4], i sadrži oko 36.563 ostrva. Nalazi se u kanadskim teritorijama Nunavut i Sjeverozapadne teritorije.[5] Arhipelag sadrži 94 ostrva veća od 130 lm², uključujući i tri od deset najvećih svjetskih ostrva. Arhipelag pokazuje neke efekte klimatskih promena,[6][7] pri čemu kompjuterske procene predviđaju da će otapanje doprineti porastu nivoa mora za 35 cm (14 in) do 2100. godine.[8]

Posle Grenlanda, arhipelag je najveća svetska oblast visokog Arktika. Klima ostrva je arktička,[10] a teren se sastoji od tundre osim u planinskim predelima.[10][11] Većina ostrva je nenaseljena; ljudska naselja su izuzetno mala i raštrkana, uglavnom su priobalna inuitska naselja na južnim ostrvima.

Klima i zemljište[uredi | uredi izvor]

Poslije Grenlanda, arhipelag je najveća kopnena masa u sjevernom Arktiku. Klima je arktička, a zemljište je tundra osim u planinskim dijelovima.[12]

Naseljenost[uredi | uredi izvor]

Većina ostrva je potpuno nenaseljena, a naseljena ostrva imaju uglavnom manji broj inuitskih (eskimskih) naselja uz obalu.
