Crozier Strait

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Crozier Strait ( 75°34′60″N, 97°13′0″W) is a natural waterway in the Canadian territory of Nunavut. It separates Bathurst Island's Gregory Peninsula to the west from Milne Island and Little Cornwallis Island to the east.[1] The strait, an arm of the Arctic Ocean, connects Queens Channel to the north with the McDougall Sound to the south.

Crozier Strait is named after Arctic explorer Francis Crozier. Kalvik Island is located within the strait,[1] as is Karluk Island, an archaeological site.[2]
