Dragon Cliff, Basaltic monolith in Axel Heiberg Island, Nunavut, Canada.
Dragon Cliff extends several hundred meters above Expedition Fiord, displaying vertical basalt formations that create distinct patterns along its face.
The geological structure formed during the Albian period through successive flood basalt lava flows, resulting in multiple distinct layers exceeding 200 meters in thickness.
The cliff stands as a reference point within the traditional territories of Inuit communities who have lived in this region for generations.
Visitors require specialized permits and transportation arrangements to reach this remote location at coordinates 79°21′N latitude and 92°12′W longitude.
The cliff contains more than 10 separate flow units of flood basalt, forming part of the extensive High Arctic Large Igneous Province.
