Arctic Cordillera (Innuitian) The Arctic Cordillera is a mountainous region in Canada's far north. In some locations, they measure over 2,500 meters in height, and are 1,290 km in length. The Arctic Cordillera is located along Baffin Island, Devon Island, most of Ellesmere Island, Bylot Island and on the northernmost tip of Labrador. The Arctic Cordillera is the northernmost mountain range in Canada and in North America and the mountains also offer spectacular scenery.
