Solus locus habitatus in insula est Portus Curalii (Coral Harbour), Salliq Inuktitutice appellatus, quem 834 homines anno 2011 incolabant.

Geographia

Fretum Conglaciatum (Frozen Straight) Hantoniam Insulam et Paeninsulam Melville separat.[4] Inter alias vias aquarias quae insulam circumdant sunt Fretum Roes Welcome (Roes Welsome Sound) ad occidentem versus, Sinus Misericordiae Dei (Bay of Gods Mercy) ad meridiem et occidentem versus, Fretum Fisheranum ad meridiem versus, Fretum Evansianum ad meridiem et orientem versus, et Canalis Foxe (Foxe Channel) ad orientem versus.

Lacus Hansine in terra maxime septentrionali iacet. Paeninsula Bell in meridie et oriente insulae regione patet.[5] Mathiassen Mons, unus e Montibus Porsildianis (Porsild Mountains), est altissimum insulae cacumen. Conformatio insulae conformationis Terrae Novae aliquantulum similis in tabulis geographicis videtur.

Fauna

Sanctuarium Avium Migratoriarum Sinus Orientalis (East Bay Migratory Bird Sanctuary) et Sanctuarium Avium Migratoriarum Harrii Gibbons (Harry Gibbons Migratory Bird Sanctuary) in Hantonia Insula patent, et locis feturae anserum caerulescentium caerulescentium magni momenti prosunt. Insula praeterea est locus binarum Regionum Aviarium Magni Momenti (Important Bird Areas), ut lege circumscribuntur, quae loci uliginosi Fluminis Boasiani in meridie et occidente ac Sinus Orientalis/Native Bay in meridie et oriente sunt. Aestivae Anserum caerulescentium caerulescentium coloniae ambas regiones obtinent, quae plus quam 10 centesimas omnium harum avium in orbe terrarum una comprehendunt, et quidem plus quam 500 000 harum avium in terra secundum Flumen Boasianum nidificant. Minores, sed etiam magni momenti, sunt coloniae Brantarum berniclarum et multarum specierum avium polarium.[6][7] Hantonia Insula est unus e binis regionibus in Sinu Hudsonio cuius aquas Balaenae mysticeti aestate frequentare solent.[8][9][10]
