Nunavut is almost entirely above the treeline, a natural boundary which approximates the division between the Nunavut Territory and the West. The land is both stark and beautiful in the same breath, with a harsh climate and spectacular scenery. The landscape ranges from mountains and fjords on the eastern shores of Baffin and Ellesmere Islands, through the many lakes and tundra of the barrenlands on the mainland between Hudsons Bay coast and the western territory boundary near the Saskatchewan/Manitoba border, to the plateaus and cliffs of the Arctic Coast on the Coronation Gulf. From south to north the tiny Belcher Islands at the mouth of James Bay mark the most southernly point of Nunavut with the High Arctic Islands and North Pole at the top.
