Arctic island
Frozen northern territory
An Arctic island is any island located within the Arctic region, typically north of the Arctic Circle.
These islands are characterized by permafrost, polar climates, and sparse vegetation such as tundra.
Notable examples include Greenland, Svalbard, and the islands of Canada's Arctic Archipelago.
Scientists established a research station on a remote Arctic island to study climate change.
