Ellesmere Island is an overlooked isle that sort of looks like Great Britain. It was as if the cold climate made this isle shrink up next to Ireland to keep warm. Basically its an upside down version of the UK in Europe. Axel Heiberg Island is the Ireland of the arctic.
The flag of a would be Ellesmere Island is a special type of flag with altered UK colours and Canadian Leaf as the charge on the field.
Everything balances out! Take a look at the coloured map. East Anglia is the red zone. Wales is the yellow zone. Even Isle of Mann has partner, that being Stor Island. Isle of Wight is paired up with Isle of Ward. Graham Island in Canada matches to the Outer Hebrides. Even the Orkney Islands has a counterpart, Coburg Island. Just remember Coburg Island is more southerly while the Isle of Ward is northerly. Finally Axel Heiberg is the Ireland of
Canada.
There are places in the world called New Scotland, New Ireland, and New England. But Canada's far north arctic isles of Axel Heiberg and Ellesmere take the cake as winners! After all this part of the North American remained loyal to the crown.
