The Agassiz Ice Cap formerly Agassiz Glacier[1] is an ice cap on the central eastern side of Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada.[2] The Agassiz ice cap is about 21,000 km2 (8,100 sq mi) in area.[2] It is located between the North Ellesmere ice field to the north and the Prince of Wales Icefield to the south.

Environmental studies

Several studies have been conducted which involve the analysis of ice cores extracted from the Agassiz Ice cap.[3] Many of these studies are focused around climate change.[4]
