Map titled: 'Qikiqtaq 69°10ʹN 57°25ʹW, Kitikmeot Region, Nunavut, Canada' The island is irregularly shaped, with several larger bays/inlets. The island is covered with many, many lakes. The lakes have been coloured in a variety of blues. In the top left is a small histogram showing the distribution of lake areas, on a logarithmic scale: with mode of 0.01 km^2. In the bottom left is a map showing where Qikiqtaq is in the Canadian Arctic, above the rest of North America and to the west of Greenland. A scale bar in the bottom right corner is 25 km wide, indicating that the whole island is ~200 km across at it's widest point. Some text in upper right reads: 'here, lakes cover ~24% of the island and there are ~46 lakes per person'.
