Monumental Island, Canada

Monumental Island is a remote island located in the Davis Strait, south of Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Named in memory of Sir John Franklin by Arctic explorer Charles Francis Hall, this barren island is rich in natural wonders. Visitors can witness nesting black guillemots, iconic walruses at haul-outs, and majestic polar bears patrolling the ice-floes. The island offers spectacular views of elaborately sculpted icebergs and glaciers that cascade from its peaks. Travelers can immerse themselves in the untouched wilderness, hike the rugged terrain, and capture rare moments in one of the world's most pristine environments.
