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 ] Aside from the polar desert conditions of much of the island, there are remarkably productive ecological zones in the arctic oasis of the Lake Hazen area and the polynyas of the island's coastal waters.

Walking in Ellesmere

A 2018 study measured a 5.9% reduction in area amongst 1,773 glaciers in Northern Ellesmere island in the 16-year period 1999–2015 based on satellite data. In the same period, 19 out of 27 ice tongues disintegrated to their grounding lines and ice shelves suffered a 42% loss in surface area. [44] Paleontology [ edit ] Canada's northern neighbours shown on a circumpolar projection of the Arctic The Ellesmere Ice Shelf was documented by the British Arctic Expedition of 1875–76, in which Lieutenant Pelham Aldrich's party went from Cape Sheridan ( 82°28′N 61°30′W / 82.467°N 61.500°W / 82.467; -61.500 ( Cape Sheridan (Ellesmere Island))) west to Cape Alert ( 82°16′N 85°33′W / 82.267°N 85.550°W / 82.267; -85.550 ( Cape Alert (Ellesmere Island))), including the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf. In 1906 Robert Peary led an expedition in northern Ellesmere Island, from Cape Sheridan along the coast to the western side of Nansen Sound (93°W). During Peary's expedition, the ice shelf was continuous; it has since been estimated to have covered 8,900km 2 (3,400sqmi). [13] The ice shelf broke apart in the 20th century, presumably due to climate change. Collins, Martin; Collins, Fran (2017).
