  1. Innuitian Mountain

  2. Size • Innuatian Mountain’s are over 2,500 m (8,202 ft) in height, and 1,290 km (802 mi) in length. • The highest point is Barbeau peak at 2,616 m (8,583ft).

  3. Vegetation There are no trees or wildlife in the Innuitian Mountains due to the harsh cold climate as well as being located north of the Arctic tree line. This region is mostly barren and vast areas mainly have permafrost. The mountains are buried by ice sheets.

  4. Water Bodies The Innuitian Region is surrounded by the Arctic Ocean. However, there are waterways that are nearby, such as Parry Channel and Baffin Bay.

  5. Land Shape Erosion has not yet worn down mountains.

  6. Rocks and Minerals • There are metallic minerals including iron and zinc and non-metallic minerals such as coal. • The Innuitian Mountains contain igneous and metamorphic rocks, but for the most part are composed of sedimentary rock.

  7. Iron Iron is a strong, hard magnetic silvery-grey metal, much used as a material for construction and manufacturing, especially in the form of steel.

  8. Zinc Zinc is a silvery-white metal which is a constituent of brass and is used for coating iron and steel to protect against corrosion.

  9. Coal . Coal is a combustible black or dark brown rock consisting chiefly of carbonized plant matter, found mainly in underground seams and used as fuel.

  10. Soil • Soil is not great or fertile. • The soil layers in the mountain’s are mainly made up of the regolith and bedrock layers.

  11. Major cities: • Pond Inlet - one of Canada’s “Jewel of the north” • Clyde River - located in the Baffin mountains • Broughton Island - Qikiqtarjuaq “The Big Island”
