'Borden Island' is an uninhabited, low-lying island in the Queen Elizabeth Islands of northern Canada. With an area of 2 795 km² (1,079 square miles) in size, it is the 172nd largest island in the world, and Canada's 30th largest island. It lies north of Mackenzie King Island and is similarly split between Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
First reached by Europeans in 1916, it is sometimes described as two islands joined by ice, but is generally depicted as a single landmass.
