Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!!! I have been fascinated by these islands all my life. What fascinated me from the very first was that there was a huge area of Canada, as big as a major European country, that wasn't even known to the outside world until the 20th century! If you look at maps before that, there's just a blank space, and usually the words "unexplored" or "unknown." It might just as well have been "Here there be dragons."
Every fact you mention in this video has long been known to me, but I'm absolutely delighted to see them on TH-cam, and you are doing marvelous work bringing this knowledge to a broader public. Canadians are, for the most part, unaware of the fabulous wonders that exist in the remotest parts of our country. My heart is split with two conflicting emotions. On the one hand, I want everyone to know that these fabulous places exist, and want us to explore them further..... but on the other hand, by doing so, we will lose the magical feeling that there is an unknown place where "here there be dragons."
As the comment before me notes, this is a fabulous gift for Thanksgiving. I woke up to see all sorts of worrying news and depressing things. This made me happy. We should all give thanks that our country has such hidden wonders. We are not an ordinary country.

Interesting video! I wouldn't mind seeing a separate video on Isachsen - the formerly-inhabited weather station on Ellef Ringnes Island.

Idk why but the mountains on Axel Heinburg island look like something that you would build the Acropolis of Athens on
