While non-eusocial, the Arctic woolly bear moth ( Gynaephora groenlandica) can also be found at Ellesmere Island. While this species generally has a 10-year life cycle, its life is known to extend to up to 14 years at both the Alexandra Fiord lowland and Ellesmere Island. [52] [53] Earth's magnetism [ edit ] Ellesmere has the highest and longest mountain ranges in eastern North America and is the most mountainous island in the Arctic Archipelago. It has over half of the archipelago's ice cover, with ice caps and glaciers across 40% of its surface. Its extensive coastline includes some of the world's longest fiords.

Ellesmere Island ( Inuktitut: ᐅᒥᖕᒪᒃ ᓄᓇ, romanized: Umingmak Nuna, lit.'land of muskoxen'; French: île d'Ellesmere) [2] is Canada's northernmost and third largest island, and the tenth largest in the world. It comprises an area of 196,236km 2 (75,767sqmi), [3] slightly smaller than Great Britain, and the total length of the island is 830km (520mi). Absolutely brilliant Halloween themed day out! We got there at opening and stayed until just before it closed.

Ellesmere Island - Wikipedia

A paleolimnological study of algae in the sediments of shallow ponds on Cape Herschel (which faces Smith Sound on Ellesmere's eastern coast [33] [34]) found that the ponds had been permanent and relatively stable for several millennia until experiencing ecological changes associated with warming, beginning around 1850 and accelerating in the early 2000s. During the 23-year study period, an ecological threshold was crossed as several of the study ponds had completely desiccated while others had very reduced water levels. In addition, the wetlands surrounding the ponds were severely affected and dried vegetation could be easily burned.

Windy.The search for Franklin's lost expedition – also searching for the Northwest Passage and to establish claims to the Far North – involved more than forty expeditions to the High Arctic over two decades, and represented the peak period of Euro-American Arctic exploration. [9] :334 [7] :19 Edward Augustus Inglefield led an 1852 expedition which surveyed the coastlines of Baffin Bay and Smith Sound, being stopped by ice in Nares Strait. [9] :339 He named Ellesmere Island for the president of the Royal Geographical Society (1849–1852), Francis Egerton, 1st Earl of Ellesmere. [12] The Second Grinnell expedition (1853–1855) made slightly further progress before becoming trapped in the ice. Over two winters the expedition charted both sides of Kane Basin to about 80°N, from where Elisha Kent Kane claimed to have sighted the conjectured Open Polar Sea. [9] :339–340 Fog regularly occurs near open water in September. [2] :22 While the major air systems strengthen towards their annual peak in winter, the Arctic and Atlantic air masses collide in autumn to produce severe storms at Ellesmere. [2] :22, 25 The storm season peaks in October and persists until the sea freezes. [2] :46 The polar vortex strengthens during the polar night and gives rise to easterly winds which are major hazards for populations, especially given the very low temperatures. January winds have been recorded at 104km/h (65mph) with gusts to 130–145km/h (81–90mph) at Fort Conger and 65–80km/h (40–50mph) at Lake Hazen. [2] :25 Very cold temperatures continue until April and no month passes without experiencing freezing temperatures. [2] :33 The highest precipitation is on the northern coast, averaging 80 to 100mm (3.1 to 3.9in). On the south side of the Grant Land mountains, only 20mm (0.79in) reaches the Hazen Plateau.

In 1114, King Henry I gave Ellesmere to William Peverel as a part of the Maelor, which included Overton& Whittington at that time. His descendants retained Ellesmere until apparently the late 1140s when the lordship was acquired, probably by force, by Madog ap Maredudd of Powys. Madog died in 1160 and Ellesmere came into the hands of King Henry II. Snow Wolf Family and Me". BBC Two. Archived from the original on 26 December 2014 . Retrieved 30 December 2014.

The Thule moved into the High Arctic at the time of a warming trend, c.1000CE. [2] :28 Their major population centre was the Smith Sound area (on both the Ellesmere and Greenland sides) due to its proximity to polynyas and its position on transportation routes. [2] :54 From settlements at Smith Sound, the Thule sent summer hunting parties to harvest marine mammals in Nansen Strait. Their summer camps are evidenced by tent rings as far north as Archer Fiord, with clusters of stone dwellings around Lady Franklin Bay and at Lake Hazen which suggest semi-permanent occupations.

The fossil exhibits many characteristics of fish, but also indicates a transitional creature that may be a predecessor of amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, including humans.
