Same in Canada.
...
Suddenly I really want to take my car and drive away.
There is a lake on Victoria Island in the arctic archipelago that I am reasonably sure has never been seen by a real person, and it is unnamed. Furthermore, the lake has a small island on it. One of my life's goals is to see this lake and island someday.
There’s a ton of lakes in Nunavut that have no names, and a lot have islands, but I imagine you’re talking about this one which is unique in that it has a lake on the island. Which is in a lake. Which is on an island (Victoria island).
I’m not impossible that someone had been there though, it’s only about 200km from Cambridge Bay, and that terrain is actually quite flat and easy to travel over. They also travel all over Victoria island all the time hunting, lots of times very long distance, so it’s entirely possible someone has gone there.
Lovely spot! However, the location I'm looking at is far from where you showed me.

Ah, gotcha. I hope you get there one day! Really, anywhere in the arctic is a great experience in itself.
Do it! Unless you have kids, don't stop, don't second guess, don't think of any of the reasons you shouldn't, just get. in. the. fucking. car. and. GO!
(a little tongue in cheek, perhaps, but it's a massive country that's more than a little wild, and too many people don't explore it like they should. Seriously, go for an adventure at the first opportunity - life's short).
