In 2011, a new discovery was made on Google Earth maps -- an island in a lake on an unnamed island in an unnamed lake on Victoria Island in Canada. It is located at 69.793° N, 108.241° W. The island is just a strip of earth of about 4 acres, inside a small lake which is surrounded by a slightly larger island, which is located inside one of a series of long lakes about 75 miles up from the south coast of Victoria Island, in the territory of Nunavut. Victoria Island, in the Arctic Ocean, is the 8th largest island on earth.
