Definition
- Nunavut's Qikiqtaaluk Region is the most northerly part of Canada and is composed mainly of islands in the Canadian Archipelago. In fact, this vast region of a million plus square kilometres has only the smallest toehold on mainland Canada at Melville Peninsula. But it is the waters, not the lands of Qikiqtaaluk that are the focus of a Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) project called the Canadian Arctic Through-flow study (or CAT, for short). To be precise, CAT is looking at the currents that run between the islands, moving the waters and sea-ice of the Arctic Ocean south through the Labrador Sea into the Atlantic. http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/science/publications/article/2008/12-08-2008-eng.htm (en)
