Por que é masculine?

Archipel is masculine in French. It derives from Italian "arcipelago," which comes from Greek "arkhi-" (chief) + "pélagos" (sea). The word was borrowed into French from Italian, and French retained the masculine gender from the Italian form. However, this is not truly an exception—French commonly preserves the gender of borrowed words from Romance languages, particularly Italian.
