Apatite fission-track and (U–Th–Sm)/He data for samples with Proterozoic–Neogene lithologic ages from eastern Ellesmere, Devon, and Baffin islands in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and northwest Greenland provide insights into the complex thermal history of this region. Most data reflect exhumation...
