Prince Charles Island, Nunavut

Prince Charles Island is a large, low-lying island with an area of 9,508 km², making it the world's 78th largest island and the 19th largest island in Canada. It is located in Foxe Basin, off the west coast of Baffin Island, in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada. Despite its size, it was only discovered and charted in 1948, though it was likely known to the local Inuit long before that. The island was named for Prince Charles, who was born the same year that it was discovered. The island is uninhabited and its temperatures are extremely cold.
