Island of Ponds is an island off of the east coast of Labrador. The Labrador mainland lies to its south and a channel called Domino Run separates it from Spotted Island to the north.[4] The only remaining settlement on the island is Black Tickle.[5] It is connected to the mainland by a seasonal coastal ferry service.[5]

Island of Ponds consists mainly of igneous rock with a shallow cover of sediment, insufficient to support trees.[2] The island is named for its 366 shallow ponds.[2] Despite the many ponds, access to safe drinking water has been a long-standing problem for residents of the island.[5][2]
