La Isiqhingi saseBaffin endaweni yaseCanada ye I-Nunavut Kuyisiqhingi esikhulu kunazo zonke eCanada nesiqhingi sesihlanu ngobukhulu emhlabeni. Indawo yayo ingama-507.451 km2 (195.928 miles miles) futhi inani labantu lingabahlali abayizinkulungwane eziyi-12.
Yethiwa igama lomhloli wamaNgisi uWilliam Baffin, kungenzeka ukuthi lesi siqhingi saziwa ngezikhathi zangaphambi kweColumbian Nordic sisuka eGreenland nase-Iceland.
Iqaluit, inhlokodolobha yeNunavut, isogwini oluseningizimu-mpumalanga. Kuze kube ngo-1987, leli dolobha labelana ngegama leFrobisher Bay netheku elikuyo.
Ngaseningizimu kuneHudson Strait, ehlukanisa iBaffin Island nezwekazi iQuebec. Ngaseningizimu yetimu esentshonalanga yesiqhingi kuneFury neHecla Strait, ehlukanisa isiqhingi neNhlonhlo yaseMelville ezwenikazi. Ngasempumalanga kuneDavis Strait neBaffin Bay, eGreenland, ngempilo yangemva kokufa. IFoxe Basin, iGulf of Boothia neLancaster Sound bahlukaniswe neBaffin Island kuzo zonke lezi ziqhingi entshonalanga nasenyakatho.
Izintaba zaseBaffin zigudla ugu olusenyakatho-mpumalanga yesiqhingi futhi ziyingxenye ye-Arctic Range lapho iNtaba i-Odin iyisiqongo esiphakeme kakhulu, nokuphakama okungenani okungu-2.143 m (7.031 ft). Okunye ukuphakama okuphawulekayo yiMount Asgard, etholakala e-Auyuittuq National Park, ephakeme ngamamitha ayi-2.011 (6.598 ft).
Amachibi amabili amakhulu kulesi siqhingi asengxenyeni eseningizimu emaphakathi yesiqhingi: iNettilling Lake (5.066 km2 (1.956 square miles)) kanye naseningizimu yeLake Amadjuak.
Isiqhingi saseBaffin sinezilwane zasendle ikakhulu ehlobo lapho ungabona khona i-caribou, ibhere le-polar, i-arctic fox, i-arctic hare, i-lemming nempisi ye-arctic.
Amabhere we-polar atholakala ngasogwini lwe-Baffin Island, ekhwelana unyaka nonyaka cishe enewundlu elilodwa kuya kwamathathu azalwa ngoMashi.
Phakathi kwezilwane zasendle zalesi sifunda kukhona izimpungushe ze-arctic ezingamadlavu, futhi zivame ukulandela amabhere asezindaweni eziphakeme ukuthola izinsalela zawo. EsiQhingini saseBaffin, izimpungushe zase-Arctic kwesinye isikhathi zibanjwa ama-Inuit, kepha ayikho imboni yoboya eqinile.
Esinye sezilwane esichichimayo yizimboni ze-arctic ezitholakala kuso sonke isiQhingi saseBaffin. Uboya babo bumhlophe qwa ebusika kanye nama-molts abe mpunga omnyama ehlobo.
