The island
Stefansson Island lies in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, in Nunavut, just off the northeastern coast of Victoria Island. On a map it is a large, compact island, separated from its much bigger neighbour by a narrow channel, with Viscount Melville Sound opening to the north. Its outline is solid and fairly regular, a block rather than a web.
The island is uninhabited, with no roads or settlements. Its surface is low Arctic tundra, and the surrounding waters are ice-covered for most of the year. On the map that absence becomes the point. There is nothing to read but the coastline and the channels that link this island to the wider archipelago.
It was named after the explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson, who travelled widely through the Canadian Arctic in the early twentieth century. A Stefansson Island map poster is a study in scale and emptiness, a substantial landmass rendered in a single outline that feels calm and weighty at any print size.
A narrow waterway separates Stefansson from Victoria Island, whose long coast appears along one edge of the frame.
The broad Arctic sound to the north, part of the Northwest Passage waters, opens the composition into a large expanse of empty sea.
Unlike many fjord-cut Arctic islands, Stefansson has a relatively solid, block-like shape. It gives the print a strong, simple centre of gravity.
