Devon Island is the largest uninhabited island in the world by land area. It is located in Baffin Bay and its ground remains frozen for nearly the entire year. The majority of the island is made up of a frozen plateau and it features a series of inlets on its southern coast.

It’s remarkably barren polar desert environment has given rise to the nickname “Mars on Earth.” In fact, Devon Island’s landscape is so impressively Martian that it’s been an exploration and research site for astronauts and scientists since 1997! Researchers use the island to test spacesuits, drills, and robots in preparation for future exploration of Mars.
