Akimiski Island, Canada

The 100 m false-colour image of 6 January 2017 shows us Akimiski Island, the largest island in St. James Bay, Canada, covered with snow and ice. It has an area of 3,001 km².The island has no year-round human inhabitants; however, it is part of the Attawapiskat First Nation's traditional territory and is frequently used for traditional purposes. The coastal waters and wetlands of Akimiski Island (and St. James Bay in general) are important feeding grounds for many varieties of migratory birds.
