Unearthing Canada's Helium Riches: Baffin Island's Hidden Treasure

TL;DR Summary
Researchers have discovered an abundance of helium-4 and helium-3 trapped in volcanic rocks on Canada's Baffin Island. This finding supports the theory that as the Earth formed, helium from the solar wind became trapped in the planet's minerals. Helium is relatively rare on Earth, and helium-3 is even scarcer.
