Innuitian Region

The Innuitian Region is a physiographic division of Canada's far north.

[1]The Queen Elizabeth Islands comprise most of the region, which is also considered to be part of the Arctic Archipelago.

On central Axel Heiberg Island and northwestern Ellesmere Island, the mountains are nearly buried by ice sheets through which the peaks project as a row of nunataks.

Between these three large mountainous zones lies the Eureka Upland.

About one third of the Ellesmere and Axel Heiberg Islands are covered with ice.
