Glover Island
The island lies in a general north-east, south-west direction in the Appalachian Mountains of Newfoundland. The island is elongated, measuring 24.2 miles at its longest axis by a medium width of 3.2 miles. The island is known to be rich in minerals and is currently undergoing exploration for precious metals.
Glover Island is dotted by other ponds and lakes. Near the centre of the island is a lake 48°48′19″N 57°39′45″W / 48.80528°N 57.66250°W, measuring 1.3 miles by 0.5 miles; its area is 1.41 km, thus making it one of the largest lakes-on-an-island-in-a-lake-on-an-island (larger than Crater Lake (Philippines) at 1.17 km). This lake contains seven other islands with the largest of those measuring 112 m by 112 m 48°47′49″N 57°39′29″W / 48.79694°N 57.65806°W.
