The Arctic, which covers approximately 30% (2,375,000 km2) of the land area of Canada, has a triangular shape. Its southern border is the Arctic tree line, the northern limit of trees. This border extends eastward from the Yukon-Alaska border (at approximately Lat. 69.5° N, Long. 142° W) across the middle of Hudson Bay (Lat. 57° N, Long. 80° W), to the Atlantic coast (at approximately Lat. 57.5° N, Long. 62° W). Its northernmost point is the northern tip of Ellesmere Island (Lat. 83° N, Long. 70° W).
