Way up north in Canada’s Nunavut territory lies a unique geographical feature. While recursive islands, or islands within a lake on an island, aren’t uncommon around the world (Finland is home to countless), but there’s very few 5th order recursive islands in the world, or an island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island in a lake.
The unique feature sits inside Yathkyed Lake in Nunavut. While the smallest island in the feature is just a small rock outcrop, the overall lake is pretty large. It’s a pretty fascinating point of land.
Unfortunately the area is pretty much inaccessible to the public. Not just because it would be incredibly difficult to reach, but also because the entire Yathkyed Lake is owned by a gold mining corporation.
