According to the good folks at Wikipedia, Jenny Lind Island is “a small island 420 km2 (160 sq mi) in the Kitikmeot Region of Nunavut, Canada. The island is located in the Queen Maud Gulf, about 120 km (75 mi) southeast of Cambridge Bay.”
Some great musicians have had statues erected in their honour. Some have concert halls and music conservatories named after them. Still others are memorialized on postage stamps and in street-names. But how many can lay claim to an island in the Canadian Arctic?
