A set of coordinates nails down one single point on the Earth's surface.

That particular set of coordinates defines a point on the southern part

of Baffin Island in Nunavut (Canada).

Baffin Island is more than 1,000 miles long, and has trillions of points on it,

each point having different coordinates. It's not correct to toss out a set of

coordinates and say that Baffin Island is located there, any more than it's

correct to say that the USA is located at the northeast corner of my house.

The northwest end of the runway at Lakeba airport, on the the northwest part of the island, is located at 18.1946° south latitude 178.8208° west longitude. Other spots on the island, and in fact on the airport, have different coordinates.
