Gulf of Boothia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gulf of Boothia () is a body of water in Nunavut, Canada lying between Baffin Island and the Boothia Peninsula. It is bounded by the Melville Peninsula and the Canadian mainland to the south; to the north it leads into Prince Regent Inlet and Lancaster Sound. It was named by the Scottish explorer John Ross for Englishman Sir Felix Booth, the patron of his second expedition in search of the Northwest Passage.
