Thorndike Peaks

{{Short description|Mountain range in Nunavut, Canada}}

The Thorndike Peaks are a mountain range located south of the entrance to Makinson Inlet, on the east coast of Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada. They are part of the Arctic Cordillera and are virtually unexplored.[http://americanalpineclub.org/AAJO/pdfs/1981/194_canada_greenland_aaj1981.pdf The American Alpine Journal 1981] {{Dl|date=October 2017}} There are no trees or wildlife in the Thorndike Peaks because the mountains are north of the Arctic tree line and because of the harsh cold climate.
