The Arctic Archipelago known as the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, groups together all islands lying to the north of the Canadian continental mainland excluding Greenland. Situated in the northern extremity of North America and covering about 1,424,500 km2, this group of 36,563 islands in the Arctic Sea comprises much of the territory of Northern Canada—most of Nunavut and part of the Northwest Territories; the Canadian Arctic Archipelago is showing some effects of global warming, with some computer estimates determining that melting there will contribute 3.5 cm to the rise in sea levels by 2100. British claims on the islands were based on the explorations in the 1570s by Martin Frobisher. Canadian sovereignty was only over island portions that drained into Foxe Basin, Hudson Bay and Hudson Strait. Canadian sovereignty over all of the islands was not established until the 1880 transfer by Britain to Canada of the remaining islands; the District of Franklin – established in 1895 – comprised all of the archipelago.

Canada claims all the waterways of the Northwestern Passages as Canadian Internal Waters. Disagreement over the passages' status has raised Canadian concerns about environmental enforcement, national security, general sovereignty. Hans Island, in the Nares Strait east of Ellesmere Island, is a territory contested between Canada and Denmark; the archipelago extends some 2,400 km longitudinally and 1,900 km from the mainland to Cape Columbia, the northernmost point on Ellesmere Island. It is bounded on the west by the Beaufort Sea; the various islands are separated from each other and the continental mainland by a series of waterways collectively known as the Northwestern Passages. Two large peninsulas and Melville, extend northward from the mainland; the archipelago consists of 36,563 islands, of which 94 are classified as major islands, being larger than 130 km2, cover a total area of 1,400,000 km2. The islands of the archipelago over 10,000 km2, in order of descending area, are: * NT = Northwest Territories, NU = Nunavut After Greenland, the archipelago is the world's largest high-Arctic land area.

The climate of the islands is arctic, the terrain consists of tundra except in mountainous areas. Most of the islands are uninhabited. Islands not on map British Arctic Territories List of Canadian islands by area List of islands of Canada

Krakatoa's Revenge was the second slide to launch directly off the mountain; this tube slide was terrain based and weaved its way down the mountain before a splashdown in the main pool. The third slide was the Toboggan, it was launched from a separate tower attached to the mountain. Riders would sit on a hard plastic toboggan and would plunge down a steep drop and stop in a specially designed pool.
