About this word search

Several of these words describe Canada itself. Tundra covers much of the North, the Arctic Archipelago is one of the largest island groups on the planet, and Newfoundland has fjords on its west coast in Gros Morne National Park. Latitude and Longitude are worth defining before the search starts.

Words may run in reverse or on a slant anywhere in this large puzzle. FJORD is short but holds a rare J, so it stands out quickly. Delta and Nile are the smallest and usually the last to fall.

As a follow-up, students can mark each place or feature on a blank world map.
