Canada’s second largest island lies entirely within the Arctic Circle. Although it is larger than 36 of the 50 states in the US, Victoria Island has less than 2,000 inhabitants. But what the island lacks in human population, it more than makes up for with its tens of thousands of muskoxen and caribou. The northeast part of the island has an interesting geological feature: a 15-mile wide meteor crater from an impact that happened between 130 and 350 million years ago.
