Insula Banksiana[1] (Anglice Banks Island) est una e maximis Archipelagi Arctici Canadiensis insulis. Quae in Regione Inuvik, pars Regionis Deductionis Inuvialuit (Anglice Inuvialuit Settlement Region) Territororum Septentrio-Occidentalium, disiungitur a Victoria Insula a Freto Principis Cambriae ad orientem versus et a continente a Sinu Amundseniano ad meridiem versus. Mare Beaufort ad occidentem iacet, ac Fretum M'Clure ad septentriones et orientem versus insulam ab insulis Principis Patricii et Melville disiungit.

Insula est 380 chiliometra longa et 290 chiliometra lata, et eius area terrestris est 70 028 chiliometra quadrata. Altissimus locus est Durham Heights, 730 metra supra aequor maris.[2] Insula est vicesima quarta a maxima in orbe terrarum et quinta a maxima in Canada. Ex Iosepho Banks Equite appellatur.

Solus locus habitatus in insula est Portus Sachsianus (Sachs Harbour; Inuvialuitice Ikhuak), in ora meridiana et occidentali patens, quem 103 homines anno 2011 incolabant.[3]

Flora

Arboribus insula caret omnino, et crescit altissima planta, Salix arctica, solum usque ad 40 fere centimetra, sed plerumque 10 centimetra alta.

Fauna

[recensere | fontem recensere]

Paene quattuordecim species mammalium insulam habitant, inter quas Rangifer tarandus pearyi, Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus, et Ursus maritimus. Olim plus quam 68 000 Oviboum moschatorum in insula inveni poterant, maior pars omnium in orbe terrarum; bacterium autem Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae eorum numeros magnopere imminuit. Aestate nonnulla centena milia avium migratoriarum in Sanctuario Avium Migratoriarum Insulae Banksianae Primo et Sanctuario Avium Migratoriarum Insulae Banksianae Altero nidificant.[4][5]

Insulam Banksianam habitant duae partes omnium Anserum caerulescentium caerulescentium (snow geese) quae in vita sunt. Qui anseres trans Sinum Amundsenianum a continente quotannis migrant, cum homines ex Portu Sachsiano eos vere venatum exeant. Insula est pars biomae? tundrae, ubi hiemes maxime frigidae sunt. In terra insulari vigent rangiferi tarandi groenlandici, ursi maritimi, oviboves moschati, multaeque species avium polarium, inter quas Corvus corax variaeque species Lagopodorum, qui omnem per annum hic inveniuntur.
