René-Lavasseur Island wood be a cool place to visit.

Have you been there before?

Never been. I suspect visiting it wouldn't be much different than anywhere else around there. It's best appreciated from above. Perhaps a boat ride around the loop might be nice - assuming you could even fathom that you were going in a circle.

It's in Canada, so I figured you may have been there. ;-)

Canada is utterly gigantic. Just the province of Québec, where this lake is located, is more than 1200 miles long, as the bird flies. It's hard to visit most things.

But anyway this island is nearly uninhabitable. I mean, it's not TECHNICALLY uninhabitable, but there is nobody for hundreds of miles in every direction, save hydroelectric installations that aren't even villages. Not only that, but the climate is harsh and hell starts when the snow starts thawing: clouds of blood sucking bugs are so dense as to actually obstruct vision when you try to get around there. I'm sure in October once it freezes there's good hunting and fishing, but that's about it.

I think once the Earth's crust tilts 90 degrees, this island will become a paradisiacal place to live, but it'll take a while for nature to settle down after that happens anyway.

You can get a dog sled team.

It is also most likely the result of an incredibly huge impactor. Something very far into the Extinction Level Event scale of destruction.
